Yanus DF vs. Impulse speed

[Darno]

Can anyone compare these two rubbers?  Which one has more speed/spin.  Any comments is appreciated.

Yanus is Spinnier,
Impuls Speed = More of a control Tensor with the ability to generate active speed.
Yanus is good for chopping
Impuls Speed can also chop but not as well.

Think of Impuls Speed as a Plasma 430 but with 50% more control
Think of Yanus as a Sriver, with a softer sponge and grippier topsheet.

Thanks Rob!

According to your sponge measurements where would the Yanus DF fall in?

Thanks again

Yanus Df is the first tensor I've tried and is quite versatile rubber, it can chop and loop with now problems.  I'm using it on my Sword King Ser-90 for my bh and like this combo alot.

I was planning to try Yanus on my KCA but instead I  bought a new sheet Impulse speed 2.0 for my bh for my KCA and i'm just wondering if it would be too slow compared to Yanus + Sword King.  I notice alot guys use max thickness instead of 2.0.  Is there a big difference with speed between the two thickness?

The impuls Speed has plenty of guts - dont worry about that.

I used it on my Backhand of the KCA and had no problems at all.
