Quotes from the Bencher website at http://www.bencher.com/whichpaddle.html:
"The BY series, thanks to its unique pivot-pin bearings, is simply the most
responsive iambic paddle available today."
So, according to Bencher, the BY series is more responsive than the Hex.
The BY bearing is very low-friction. But so are the ball bearings in
the Hex key and in the Begali. One problem with the BY is that the arms
are somewhat flexible, so there's a bit of 'give', which -- combined
with the long plastic fingerpieces -- makes it feel mushy compared to
the other keys mentioned.
I modified a BY by making very small plastic fingerpieces for it. I had
to countersink the screw heads so my fingers wouldn't hit them. It
feels a little less mushy, but is nowhere as stiff as the Begali.
