Re: Round Belting - Solid vs. Hollow, Polycord vs. McMaster

I am not sure if this Dayton Urethane Round Belt is the same quality as mcmaster. But this company has more specifications about the different types of belts (its roughly the same price).

http://www.drillspot.com/products/42...YV9_Round_Belt

What do most people suggest in terms of texture of the belt ?

Orange = Smooth (hardness = Shore A 90)
Green = Rough
Clear = Smooth (hardness = Shore A 80)

What's the difference between clear & orange, mainly hardness ?

How does hardness affect ball collecting ability?
