I'm still not sure that I understand everything but I will say a few things about springs and tension.

I have played MANY springs, with various tensions. You can get heavy gauge (thickness), move your beater closer to your head or lighter gauge and move the beater further away.

I used to like heavy gauge but I have switched again.

Sometimes it's not easy to change springs so working with the tension is more important.

You have to experiment and find what is working best for you. Good luck.
