A Question of Felt choices -pros and cons

Post by The Numenorean »

HI there gearheads :TOH:

Just a quick question which i don't think has a difinitive thread..

What exactly are the pros and cons of the various felts available? Rabbit, Beaver etc

Is it a question of durability? Flexibility?

Thanks from a beginner

This thread has some info you may find useful:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48634&hilit=rabbit+vs.+beaver" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I typed in 'rabbit vs beaver' in the search function and had over 1300 hits, so you might want to start your search there.

Rabbit's harder to catch, but Beaver is meaner when you catch them ;)
