Seems to me, if u tighten ur grip, so u can stop the blade from shaking from the impact, anything soft will act like a spring and bounce it back :)  Whereas, anything harder will damage the ball/itself in a collision.  Therefore...softer equipment is faster and spinnier!(1 year ago, a Spintech dealer told me this, he also makes blades...and his kids r sponsored by tibhar, etc....I thought he was out of his mind)
 
This would mean, that the rating on equipment is subjected to the technique u use.  And since to me, there is only 1 best technique.(the kind Wang Hao uses...inside-out shots...using whole body, etc.)  Softer and thicker equipment is always faster :)
