Pro Willow
« on: November 08, 2012, 02:26:04 PM »

so having looked at tempo in the other thread and thinking about buying it I went snooping around on H4L website, again. In terms of willow that you can select the options are G2, G1 & Pro so was hoping you shed some light on you pro willow pls. Is it pro in terms of look, performance & weight (lack of weight) or just performance?

could we see some pics too  pls :D

Mine was a 5* and couldn't really see any difference between it and other higher grade willow I'd used.

Pretty sure It's down to cleft grading (appearance) rather than performance grading. I'm sure Matt will shed the light

As per my knowledge Matt grades his willow on looks, though only he can confirm.
