    Re: Backing plate : Which one?

    The first one is rubber and very flexible. The second one has a little cushion to it but not nearly as flexible as the first.

    As for which one to choose... I`d go with #1. Not because it is flexible, but because the velcro is actually molded into the plate and will probably never ever fail. The second one has the velcro glued to the plate most likely and theres a posibility that the glue would give out after extended use.

    personally I prefer the larger 6" flexible backing plate with the full contact 7.5" pads...I think it gives the pc more balance and covers more area

    Thanks for the response guys. Ordering is turning out to be more challenging than I imagined.
