Very good product; however, I wish I could obtain the type of "American" felt available in the past that was not quite as soft and was more compacted then this product is. It seems that there is a convergence going on between the softness of the "American" felt and the German felt. While they are still different in appearance, they are sounding more and more the same.
I bought this felt to recover my hard felt sticks, such as Duff #1 and DH1. When I received the felt, first thing I noticed was that it is much softer than I expected. In fact, it is almost as soft as the German felt I ordered with this felt. The felt itself is pretty good, so it is usable to recover some regular sticks but not for hard sticks. So I recommend this felt for recovering your practice mallets or medium mallets (Duff #3 for example.)
