This squishiness of the felt isnot a factor with Crescendo Punchings
Yes, they make it possible to have less aftertouch (and, therefore, more power) and still be clearly defined about where key dip ends with a reasonable landing (without feeling like concrete).  I have followed Andre Oorebeek's practice and install them routinely as part of every action job.

Finalcheck is 
to take each key through escapement (slowly and controlled) andthen 
press to the bottom and compress the front punching a bit. Thehammers 
should each rise from drop the same amount, not much butdefinitely 
some (1 mm?).


That's a lot of lost territory. This squishiness of the felt isnot a factor with Crescendo Punchings.
