In your own experience, what side is the most effective use of this material; defense or attack?

Not quite sure what exactly you're asking, but I'd say it's more suited to offensive: the type of offense more revolving spin rather than speed. That said, the paddle isn't particularly fast on either side really, so that does help with blocking very hard/fast balls on the defensive side. The red side has slightly more spin, less power and more control than the black side. Most people, in general, would prefer the red side for defensive backhand and the black side for the forehand.

the sabertooth is great but i find the armor more of a marketing gimmick. it collects dust and doesnt necessarily increase heat dissipation. that said it does increase strength so you get less flex. but i hardly see that as a major problem. the hero is more of solid performer imo.

Never noticed until you raised the question. Couldn't really find a purpose unless that side is stronger at locked it in when in the open position???If you find out, let me know, : )

It doesn't matter which side you put up. I usually cut mine in half and it still works the same. Makes them last a little longer.

I have not had to use it. I bought it with purpose of having to use it if I was attacked by a human. I saw it at a trade show and the vendor stated it can be used as a line of protection from any attackers.

It depends on the surface you use it and what side of the defender is in contact with the laptop. You can get both effects which can be an advantage

LOL! thanks for the correction. the minor gripe I have is that you can see seams on the hammer. The side that you would slam down upon your enemy or bildgesnype. Otherwise, a good purchase.

The instructions say you can use either side...the plastic side seems unsafe.

My ten year old son uses it for defense. Great for defense but I don't believe the ball will return at pitching distance. If it doesn't return completely it's still better than throwing at a five gallon bucket.

It's something kind of foam. It's not hard plastic or anything like that. Stabbing will go through. Slashes I don't know maybe. For blunt objects it cushions the impact. But it will still hurt.

If you clash blades then ya. Cut paper no. Hack into a tree... why would you? If you are using them for protection then they will do just fine. If you are sword fighting with them then no they won't hold an edge.

I believe the material is the same on both sides - so either would work well! I didn't notice the difference.

I always use sacrificial wood on the sides and that eliminates any snipe you may get. That being done you could plane really short pieces.

Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyI0Ge9cnqI The Slim Armor performs pretty well in this test, but will probably hold up far better in real-world scenarios.

Protection......... Yes vs. the shucking knife. Questionable vs. The Walking Dead Creatures....

Yes, it helps a lot! That's primarily why I purchased it. Just keep the sides as clear as possible.

Well, honestly, I've never deliberately touched the sides during use. That said, I can tell you that nobody in my family has ever complained about being burned by this toaster. In fact, we use it often, like it, and I do recommend it. I hope this will help you make an informed decision.
