Not too long ago, a session was arranged with Seven Attendees, for demonstrations of TT Mats and Three Puck Weights.
Mats that were used were:
Rubber, Rubber/Cork - Not Able to win favour.
Leather, Two Thicknesses - Won Favour with all Puck Weights.
Forex Foam 5mm Thick - Won Favour with a Puck weight.
AT - 600 Ceramic - Won Favour with a Puck Weight
AT 677 - Won Favour with all Puck Weights
Tenuto - Gunmetal - Mixed Response to various Puck weights and used without weight added.
All mats had a Puck Weight applied up to 1Kg in weight.
There was a mixed response to most demonstrations, the Rubber was not seen to be attractive to any attendees.
All others were with a variety of impressions made that were being shared, a Puck Weight Exchange could change one's impression being made for a mat.
The Tenuto was one of the most changing to the Puck Weight changes and got the most discussion on the impressions being made.
It is a case of another ancillary/ancillaries in combination, being able to impact on a presentation, and each is to their own unique preference in their selecting the ones that are the least repelling to their stimulus.
