Can someone explain to me the technical definition of both the TSB socket and the Hydrostatic socket? I know that a Hydrostatic socket is a TSB design but I am not sure exactly what differentiates a TSB socket from a Hydrostatic socket. Might it be in the way the cast is molded, namely under vacuum or pressure?
   
  You help in clearing up this matter is greatly appreciated.
   
  Best regards,
