Title: Couldn't resist
Post by: fromthehip on March 09, 2015, 05:59:01 PM

A quick visit to discuss the possibility of getting team wear ended up with me getting this
Better pics and review when I get it back as jake is knocking it in
But quickly it's huge and boy does it have some guts........

Be great to see how this goes.

Love the shape but I really dislike the stickers!
Personally preferred the old ones.

Lovely stick mate, hope it serve you well  :)

It taps up insanely well even better than a le it got last year and that was ridiculous but couldn't get used to profile....

My preferred weight is 2lb 9 but this is 2lb 11 I thought the scales must be broken as I couldn't believe what I was seeing

Really tempted on one of these as my LE is flying and my B3 is just a touch too heavy which is a shame. Is the middle a touch higher on this compared to the LE?

I had a slightly different shaped le this is lower I would think don't have other to compare

I one thing I did notice is just how good the finish is although it is very pale but very good
