Mine glides great. We have had it on the porch for a long time and it still glides smoothly and is very comfortable. I give mine a 10.

10 is firm, yet giving....not a hard feel. I do not have experience with the 12.

In my opinion speed is slow, and spin is ok to mediocre. But I'm used to Chinese paddles and rubber, haven't played much with Euro or Japanese stuff. Of the Chinese stuff, I now prefer the less tacky, softer rubbers and sponges, that are closer to Euro rubbers. But this still feels dead compared to the Chinese Euro copy stuff. My buddy who's a decent player but not great prefers this to my Chinese paddles, because he says he retains more control.In your position I think I'd go for the Stiga Pro Carbon. I haven't tried it, but based on the descriptions and speed/spin ratings, it seems like it would be more lively. In my opinion speed is slow, and spin is ok to mediocre.

In my experience, It glides ok. I do like the terry cloth ones better but I cannot find terry cloth ones anymore. All I have been able to find is the microfiber ones.

My saw slides smooth on both upper and lower slides. It is comparable to my 12inch bosch, as far as smoothness.

Yes, super smooth. I have been using it for six months and it still maintains perfect conditions.

on a scale of 1-10 1 being soft and 10 being firm. I would say 4-5. They were not very firm

Yes the ride is smooth. I did have to secure the rubber tips with gorilla glue to keep them in place when pedaling on carpet, but overall there were no problems with the equipment.

Yes, it glides smoothly. The only downside to this glider is that unless in a covered area, it will have to be oiled quite a bit. Otherwise, for the price, I am quite happy with it and sit in it as much as the weather allows! I hope this helps you.

From my perspective the glide is quite smooth. I would never pretend to know whether it is suitable for someone with bad knees.

It qualifies to me. I love the razor. There isn't much vibration. I had to change the foil once and blades. The first one irritated my skin. The 2nd was better quality and I'm rating it satisfactory.

Silky smooth. Ours has been through a good hundred hours of service and the panning has never been an issue. It is as good as you'll get with any mono pod on the market at any price. This is the gold standard that all other mono pods are measured against.
