It's like they've tried and failed horrifically to copy the laver!

The stickers really aren't the usual classy, sophisticated GM fare either...

I can't really see what's wrong with it... When one of the most traditional names tries to do something different it gets slated! Personally I think it looks like a Laver Ultra without the additional concaving and the stickers aren't really that far removed from the Flare of 2 or 3 years ago. I'd like to feel the pick up on it though, as that's what to me from the looks, looks like it might be heavier.

True, but perhaps that's the whole point, trying to get away from their stereotypes. I'll ask the rep/clubmate about them next time I see him.
