No kiddin! Sheesh, can I buy your book already?!?!

So how about physical density... A soft more flexible pad versus a harder rigid pad?

I thought there were a lot more factors.

Beside the PPI there is also the make up of the foam it self....one type is a ureathane foam..I forgot what the other foam is but one is softer than the other and even though the PPI is the same they cut different to to one being soft and one being rigid...and the open cell structure on the softer ones tend to collapse into themselve and causing a lesser cut...

it is like on the CCS pads..one is a Euro foam and one a OEM foam....one is softer than the other and they work different also....

Is it possible that each manufacture has a different quality foam being used for there product?

This is very useful when comparing different brands of pads...such as LC vs. EDGE and trying to find the equivalent pad. very nice info....most manufacturers list the specs of their pads in the description right?

I'm sure there are but I'm just trying to arrive at a way to compare foam pads.If anyone has a better idea I'm wiling to listen (LC are not forthcoming, they only say we don't rate are foam that way, we use colours. But nearly all mfgs have a different colour grading system----
