I’m curious if there is some way to determine which run of Chief you have. Is it just the weight? Colorway?

Or dig through the CLYW blog. It may take a little time to find the entries, but Chris posts pics of each run. However, there have been re-runs of colors, so that might make it more difficult. Then you’re back to using weight to tell the difference.

Im not sure though but I know that if the chief has no double rims its a 5th run.

My theory is that the first run and the other 65g runs were made in Canada, whilst the the 66g run was/is made by OD. I’ve read somewhere that someone stated that they thought the first run, the Canadien one, played way better blablabla.

I actually liked the lighter version WAY better. But in the end, the Chief just wasn’t the throw for me regardless of weight.

@ xXRickY0Xx - all Chief runs have the inner rail. It’s kind of its trademark. I’m not sure what you mean by “double rims”.

Edited a punctuation error. Sorry, I’m OCD like that.

1st run - light 65  
2nd run - heavy 66  
3rd run - light  
4th run - heavy  
…  
…  
…  
Somewhere along the line Chris decided to keep them at 66. Not sure when … Also there are other runs of lights… I just posted what I remember when they first dropped.

Asking Chris would be the best bet. I think he is at run 13 now…

… Unless you have a 1st or 2nd run chief …dont really matter which run you have. I have had one from the 1st an 2nd … They all pretty much played the same.

It’s still a beast IMO.

From what I know I think One Drop has made Chief’s in both the 65 and 66 gram weight. I like them both!! I have one of each…

I know there are a few people who are in the process of doing the research needed to compile this info as we speak!! I wish them luck!!! With all those runs that’s a lot of return tops to be looking into…
