Grasshopper GTX, Wildfire

[Boy (Stewart Wilkinson)]

Has anyone tried both of them? (Not proto) Would like to hear how they play, thanks!

GTX is the baby of Haymaker X and Grasshopper

also what brand is the wildfire?

What does GTX stand for?

Wildfire is CLYW. A new bi-metal bonfire

[codinghorror]

Here’s the Grasshopper GTX as well

I really like this “bimetal edges extending beyond the aluminum rim” trend, for the record. That started in 2018!

Also wow… only $75 that’s VERY cheap for a fancy bimetal!

Yeah, I picked up a Haymaker X last year because I liked the “extended rim” concept.

I’ve been looking at the GTX myself. That is one slick looking throw for $75.

I’d love to see a comparison between the GTX and the original X. I thought it was strange that the GTX is newer and seems to have superior specs but is $20 cheaper (or $35 cheaper for some of the splashed paints).

I’m also curious about this, but I suspect they’ve found some new efficiency either in the design or their manufacturing.
