I would like to add, temperature is a factor.

So yes, the degrees ties in with the rubber compound (hardness) but keep in mind if you are playing in the cold this changs things.

Just like the compound on a summer tire vs winter. The winter is set up to remain more rubbery and keep the grip. An all season gets hard in the cold and looses the grip. Leave a pair of winters on in the summer and they will wear out like an eraser.

The same HAS to apply to a hop up in a gun that is used when it is 44 degrees in the shade (we have played that at the hill) to the now, -3 and on, which we are about to play in.

So my point is, remember you are likley farting around with your gun at ambient temp. May need to get a softer bucking than normal in the colder temps.

Ignore this if you are an indoor guy.
