| slipmats don't really affect your djing overall although the quality of them can affect the feel, when you are cueing your record. nothing major though i would think. |

yeah jiz, your exactly right
i got my technic quality mats with the tables so i didn't realise there would be quality variations. i assumed they were all made of the same material since they were all about the same price..
and yeah you are correct, it is exactly like the material used on top pool tables. my mistake, they just looked cool on the pic. oh well |

and yeah slipmats dont really affect much besides letting the record glide when the plate is held,
main purpose for me is making my decks look pretty :)
ive tried both quality mats and the thinner mats (ones im complaining about) and it makes no difference what so ever. it just looks dodgy! |

thickness bugs me. hard to grip the nipple effectively at times with a thick slipmat. |

thick slipmat coupled with a thick piece of wax, and u'll have trouble manipulating the speed using the nipple without physical touching the record. i just prefer aplenty of finger space to give the nipple a good twist without wax interference :)
though i confess i havnt used the technics, i've used mooks slipmats. thick as and utterly annoying. |
