What's HPA's short game like?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have $60 burning a hole in my pocket  and I was thinking of buying two sheets of Hammond Pro Alpha 2.0 for my K-4.  It's supposed to be pretty fast, so I'm wondering what its short game is like, especially for pushing.  I don't want to waste my money on it if too bouncy or uncontrollable in the short game.  I'm hoping that getting 2.0 rather than 2.2 will help in that regard.

Those of you have have tried HPA, please let me know what you think.

	I use it, I don't find it too bouncy or hard to control, but I only have it only OC CR. However, the short game still isn't great because it doesn't have much topsheet spin. So you can push fine, but don't expect to get much spin.

	I have also used it for BH and didn't like it. Too bouncy for me and not enough spin on pushes.
