A harder tip has a slightly better hit efficiency (energy transfer) than a softer tip. This will result in slightly more CB speed for a given stroke speed. This can provide a slight advantage for draw shots, where, where slightly more CB speed will retain slightly more backspin on the way to the OB.

Do pros use hard or soft cue tips?
The choice is entirely up to the player. Because of their density, hard tips last longer. Soft tips, especially when utilized for break shots, can quickly mushroom. Some players, on the other hand, enjoy the feeling of their soft cue tips mushrooming and compressing.
