My experience has led me to believe the following:

Scraping – Optimal for restructuring damaged tissue and working out minor superficial/surface adhesions.

Smashing – intended for deep tissue adhesions/knots/trigger points as well as assisting with delaminating tissues and for adding mobility/flexibility/tissue length.
