i use oil impregnated UMHW i belive. they are awsome. ive been wondering about garvity's delrin tho

I have the new gravity gloves, Ive only used them twice tho. The delrin is wayyy more slidey than cutting board, the thumb puck has been wearing too fast tho, maybe its just im not very balanced on my slides. So I would say oil impregnated UHMW or Delrin would be the top two fastest pucks.

These are my experiences with puck materials:

- non-oil-impregnated UHMW lasts along time but doesn't slide very well.( I may have gotten the wrong stuff.)
- cheap cuttingboard slides really well but wears out very fast.
- lush v1 pucks slide really well and wear pretty slowly... I've tried all the above and ended up going back to them on my gloves.
- I've got some Corian in the mail from AlexMoore and I hope that it works well.
- very interested in tryin oil-impregnated UHMW and Delrin.... only time will tell.

I wish I could vote but I haven't tried them all.

Corian slides well, but wears out way to fast. I ground down a 2" x 2" puck to a sliver in only a few sessions, and my sessions aren't super crazy like some people.

i have only used corian and it seems to be the most cost efficent. I use 1\2" think corian so it seems to last a while. Ive never done any of those high speed slides though. Those will prolly kill any pucks fast.

I have some UHMW Oil Impregnated and it seems to last the longest. Regular UHMW seems to last just as long.

Yeah the lush palms are great, little bit on the sticky side, but they last forever
