To the 8 people who voted 40 degrees - how much tuner do you use?!?

40 tuned is still super demanding.

Furthermore, you can get 40 degree from most websites (stock commercial is 39-40) but 38 degrees is much harder to get in US, and still plays amazing tuned.

If you've never tried 38 tuned, you need to give it a shot.

I use 40 also (no tuning), but need the right blade to get more dwell... perfectly paired with Clipper CR =), i assume it works well with Ludeack Power,  & Rosewood 7.  Not as good with harder & thin blades such as OSP Musko.

There is a big difference between 2,15 mm and 2,2 mm...I really could not understand even if I really try how somwbody didn't feel the differences on the same blade and from the same supplier...

Sorry to revive a dead thread but I didn't think my question warranted a new topic.

I'm currently trying out the Stiga Clipper Wood (and have moved to the new 40+ ball).  I am wondering if 38 or 39 degrees provincial would be more suitable on the blade (or if there's even a difference)?

I do not tune/use booster.

38 degrees would probably be better if non-boosted, that said why are you playing the H3 Neo unboosted?!

Because it is illegal to boost? It is an idiotic and unenforceable rule, but a rule nonetheless.

Thanks for the feedback SmackDAT. I just didn't boost after the glue ban and didn't want to become reliant on it.

I think either 38 or 39 degree is fine.

42 original no-boosting
There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.
Falco is not a booster

I’m wondering this also! It seems like the newer sheets no longer specify hardness to the degree but only by “mid” which is said to be between 38-40 deg. 

I specified through TT11.com but all I was sent were these “mid” versions. 

Maybe it’s DHS way of easing up the QC? Probably due to poor sales on 38 or 40 deg?

TTNPP sell versions with a specific hardness in degrees, which they say were intended for the Chinese market, or without.

They charge about $1 extra for the labelled version
