I had the SS Aggressive texture for about a month. Just couldn't get used to it. Just to rough for my liking. Now I am a working man not a desk jockey lol. Nothing wrong with that just noting I do have a rough hands. I also have a strong grip and think that might have been my issue. After a stage or practice run my hands would be bright red with needle pokes. Never held the semi-aggressive but did try a smooth with sandpaper and really liked that as I run sandpaper now
