quantum tech 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: EvilMonkey, 2009-12-21


great, balanced swing. light. unlike the first review, mine have a rubber grip. i think they added that the second year. i wear XL gloves and haven't had a problem with the pinky grip being too tight at all with my BD Predator gloves. they're kind of thin, but padded on the knuckles. maybe the padding helps with comfort. i added, and highly recommend buying and adding the triggers. they really help with swing control and reduce over-gripping. the large, positive pinky rest and trigger were the reasons i switched from DMM Rebels. i haven't noticed any snow sticking to the carbon fiber shaft, but snow out here is pretty dry.

Perfect swing, great picks. 4 out of 5 stars

These things swing exceptionally well, they're light etc. as you would expect, and have Grivel's usual fantastic quality. The only things that lose them a star are the fact that the horn on the bottom it too close for me - I have giant hands and it pinches my pinky a little too much when I wear thicker gloves - and the fact that the carbonfiber gets iced up in damp conditions when there's snow about. It needs a rubber grip to be added on, I suppose. The only reason I haven't done this is because it would make the pinky even tighter...
