Are backgammon hardwood-boards better?

There is a schism in the backgammon gaming world. This revolves around a rather trivial conflict. Like the game there are two sides. In this case, one side believes that the best backgammon boards are backgammon hardwood boards, while the other indicates that in fact the backgammon leather boards are far superior.

On the side of the backgammon hardwood boards. Proponents indicate the wealth of skill and craft that is required to create genuine, quality backgammon hardwood boards. Not only do they require high standard materials, but the workmanship that goes into a successful creation makes all backgammon hardwood boards unique and treasured by their owners. On the other side of the board war are the proponents of the leather made backgammon boards. According to these players, a backgammon hardwood board may look great but doesnt provide the best possible playing surface. According to them, backgammon boards made from wood often result in dices that bounce out of the board and checkers that slide from their places.

Proponents of leather backgammon boards suggest that the leather allows players to concentrate on the game rather than on knocking the board and moving the checkers. Additionally, the leather is likely to last longer and remain in better condition.
