Consider they're (my b2 and b2pro) are the same hardness (47) I don't think this is the case. But thanks for the feedback. From my experience its the softer sponges that are harder to play with but I guess this is personal preference.

Oh is that so? By pro you still mean provincial version? Provincial version comes in 38, 39, and 40 degree hardness though? So how did you get 47?

I got 38 which is practically identical.
It's the difference of 1 point nominally on the 'european' scale.

Frankly, Im quite happy with the regular version on my BH. 
It has all the gears needed.

On top of that it turning out to have a long life as well.

I just hope they keep making it.

You know that once you like a rubber that is reasonably priced "they" are going to stop making it. Its like they read the forums...

had a couple of beers before playing with B2 BS (on a Feel AX). on the attack the shots were as deadly or even more so but had more feel,control and precision.   the difference was the smoother stroke and softer hands - attributes the better players have more of. the beer didn't help with the footwork though, among other things.

You should try pot next time. Some variant that slows time. Those are the best.
We used to make a lot of great music on those haha

has anyone tried boosting regular B2 with Falco long? If so, would you recommend it and how many layers?
A version of Hurricane 3
A version of Tenergy
A Stiga blade...

I glued a B2 38 deg orange sponge prov version to my forehand and I really like it. I feel it has better spin control than H3 Neo, also the surface feels tackier and maybe a bit faster too than 39 deg H3N orange.

I use 37deg H3N on my backhand, and I'm wondering which B2 is the softest. Just by looking at the numbers the 45deg commercial should be the softest, but maybe someone who has tried more than one version could tell me which is the softest.

Thanks
