As the springs don't move in and out. And if they did it would only be on the up stroke the down stroke would compress any spring. So if you have a Flitev2 put your finger lightly at the end of a mag cartridge can you feel any difference between the hard and soft bar? It's always made me wonder.
I would have to theorize that the only way it could work would be if the spring bar bends on the down stroke as it resists the skin. I would also assume that the softer the bar the smaller the wire gauge, so it would bend even easier. Just my thoughts since I have never actually played with a flite.
