Grail
7068 Batsquatch
OG 3rd run Peak
Markmont Classic Magnum Opus
Quail
Not ordered by favorites. But yes, I probably have favorites here (depending on the day ). All organics because that’s what I like to play.
The Grail and Peak are absolute classics for me.
After I dialed in the Batsquatch response and bearing I constantly reached for it, as the light weight coupled with bimetal weight distribution feels pretty special in an organic.
The MCMO is the new kid on the block for me but I can’t stop playing it - it is perfect in its own way like the Grail and Peak. Disclosure: I bought a concave for the MCMO thinking I’d want to swap out the flat 10-ball but no, it is amazing right out of the box.
The Quail is the wild card here and, like the Batsquatch, it brings something special to the table, in this case with its small A bearing giving a super tight response. The Quail took some playing to break in, but once the response smoothed out, it became a yoyo to test out my technique and smoothness because it lets me know just how sloppy I am.
It’s fun to compare the Peak’s. You can really see the depth and quality of the Gruntbull anodisation on yours, compared to the almost watercolour effect that Pioneer did on the 1st run.
There’s something quite fetching about Gruntbull Peaks. I snapped this Golden Nugget just now as it does a good job of showing that texture and depth on the bottom cup.
Funny that you mention it… the 10-ball in my MCMO just became too noisy and some V4M + air blasts didn’t clear it up, sadly. So now there’s a quiet pixel bearing in the MCMO and it’s working out just fine.
