It probably depends on the design and over all mass of it ,most woods are stronger in tension then compression wonder how a glass belly sinew or hickory backed maple core would work ? The high compression belly allowing high reflex design to stay that way, probably great especially if you drum sanded the belly lam 0.015 or so , ok back on topic 😝 But your OP got me thinking if guys that are making HH follow bows make them on a strait form and allow the set of the lams to create the follow in the bow then obviously the lams are taking some set and doing some work so lighter stronger lams I would think would improve performance, weight/work ratio aka (mass) I have herd maple core glass bows tend to have the best performance , but I dont know I have only made 1 glass bow its just like most things with bow theory you really never know tell you build it !
