As you may already know. When I compete I don't tweak strickly for strength. I was just messing around with my new tweakers and Ka-boom!

I just went back and worked on the first run but right now the SP still is stronger. I was able to close the gap though. The problem with the first run is that when I spend my hard earned money on them you really don't want to alter them at the price you pay. I also found that you can do much more to SP's with the "tool" in getting length and then making adjustments from there.

I'll be trying out others as the process is more extensive than tweaking a first run. First runs are ridiculously easy to tweak and that is where the real value is. SP's have to be set perfectly based upon the type of plastic and their overall 'lack of grip" on certain surfaces. Until I totally figure this out and construct a tweaking "algorithm" to support my findings it's best that I hold my water. I had success with a prior theory due to the use of the newer tools which lesson the need for heat. I have discovered SP's have a much lower heat tolerance even though they appear otherwise. I have a tight end that was a beast but it was a rare success with heat applied. The tool helps reduce the dependence on heat. This also seems to apply to those frosty looking Prolines that are hard that people toss aside.

Hope this isn't more teasing.
