I've been recently playing inverted again rather than SPs, and somehow I've been really liking it.

I decided to get a sheet of inverted, the classic tacky ones to re-learn techniques.

I sold the Yinhe M Star I reviewed a while ago for an amazing price to a personal friend.

I'd like to get a Palio CJ8000 but then I got confused, what is this hardness scale?

I tried reading and understanding anything that has been written in this matter, a haggisv ESN/Chinese scale, but I was not able to understand.

Could someone enlighten me?

Just inspected my stock of Palio rubbers with my certified Shore O durometer.
It comes out that Palio is using Shore O hardness scale for marking on their products.

Be happy.

Take note for your better understanding,
-- the Palio rubber marked as 45* would feel the same as Butterfly 36* under squeezing with fingertips.

HARDNESS EVALUATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT RUBBER BRANDs.

For now, the rubber makers are using either Shore A or Shore O hardness scale for marking on their products. Scales, other than SA, SO, are not employed at all.
You cant make any reliable comparisions between different rubbers unless you know which of the hardness scales is currently utilized by a rubber factory.
For your better benefit we made up a Summary Table with the hardness scales SA,SO currently in use by major rubber factories as DHS, 729, Butterfly, Yinhe, TSP and so on.

Be happy.

*The Table is under revision, due to come in September.
