A quick question for all the TT users out there particularly those who use the Vernet range.....do you prefer the classic Vernet or the soft Vernet and is there any benefit of using one over the other especially when it comes to bill switches ?

I use the hard plastic for bill switches because the bills slide easier. The soft don't execute as well as the bill hangs up against the softer surface. My opinion.

Having a hard surface seems to help me with the switch as well.

Thanks for everyone's input it's much appreciated, would any of you say it makes a difference if you suffer with dry hands at all in regards to what TT you use ?

With dry hands you still should use the hard thumb tip but need your thumb to have some friction to pull the bil out.
I confess that I lick my thumb. |

I've always used a Vernet Soft for bill switches.

Having purchased one of each and tried them both out I have to say that the classic Vernet was better than the soft for me personally.

Classic Vernet TT I find works best for bill switch or silk work..

The hard one make the bill slide better and make the move more fluid in my opinion
