I was unsuccessful popping the caps with a suction cup, so I took extreme measures.
My first impression playing with the caps off is that I think I like it more with them on. Fortunately, I can pop them back on if I want.
Without the caps it feels like the weight distribution is off. I was wondering if it would feel more like a Weekender, but it doesn’t really feel that way to me. I also think the smaller pads are just less snappy than other modern responsive throws.
I’ll probably end up putting the caps back on, but I suspect I’ll end up throwing my Freehand One and Weekender more.
