My takeaway is that the V grabs regens but pinches wirewalkers and slows them down.

Is there a compromise tip that does it all reasonably well?

I think playing with string thickness and top weight can stretch this.

Absolutely.

There has to be be a size and weight threshold where tricks like Stairway to Heaven or El Mejor Truco are not possible no matter what combination of tip shape, neck diameter, and string diameter you use. I am happy with the V shape for the 3.25" diameter Sweetle.  It may not be able to walk fast enough for a few advanced walkers, but it will regen well.

Es un tema espectacular,este sin duda las puntas son críticas en la evolución del juego y sobre todo las técnicas,yo también quiero agregar la parte de redondeado el la primer parte de la punta sea así y no afilada en V.saludos
