Am I right in thinking this is ALMOST very close to an offering from M&H with silver stickers... Looks very similar to mine.

I love the shape BTW!! :D

That's a lovely, lovely, lovely profile, just about everything pleasing about it. I love the no concaving + longer sweet spot on it. Looks likes Ginger's wish came true with GBP 175. Wish I could buy this one :(.

Fairly similar profile to the GM Flare Players Edition.  Nowhere near as expensive though. 
Title: Re: b1 2014 updated profile
Post by: Spanky on February 03, 2014, 10:01:06 AM
What position is the sweet spot on this? Mid-high?
Title: Re: b1 2014 updated profile
Post by: Blank Bats on February 03, 2014, 10:06:50 AM
It's an extended mid sweet spot, meaning that you still get a decent coverage in the more "traditional" area, but at the same time benefitting from a better pick up/feel.

I just compared my Flare, from my amateur perspective they look similar.

Compared to dead weight how does yours pick up.
Title: Re: b1 2014 updated profile
Post by: procricket on February 09, 2014, 06:15:24 PM
I have tried one of these shapes and I can confirm I used one 2oz heavier than I normally use and if felt like my normal weight very impressive profile

Is that the one you had at the net Dave? The pick up on that was really light, nice oval handle too

Pick up is definitely lighter than its dead weight.
