Righto. I must have gotten a pretty thick piece of leather on my Pro just by sheer luck. When I trimmed it, it actually helped the thing not to be so hard, and gave it just enough 'give' to make the tension just about right for me (200 lbs. +/-). It only needed about 1/4 of a turn and it was perfect.
