Agree! The vi ix is great. I enjoy it. But I feel that vi ix is somehow lack in power. :thinking: Both Vi ix and sucction are underrated, i think. I love my sucction sooo much! It’s light, fast, agile, fun!! ---

Yeah, no doubt about grail being one of the best organic out there (and also a-rt masterpiece), but vi ix is sooo underrated. Just like other a-rt throws, vi ix also has character, unique feelin typical of every a-rt product. A-rt magic formula maybe :thinking::wink: And sparrow is one of the best undersized i’ve ever played. Plays better than junior, imo :+1: ---
