Yeah, I was thinking Dark Magic the whole time, and the Legacy is basically a plastic Dark Magic. Legacy seems to fit perfectly. ---

The Legacy really does fit your preferences. You can even use it as an offstring though it isnā€™t actually dedicated for it. You can remove the silicone and then use o-rings but the silicone in my opinion gives it a tighter bind. Oring/ Silicone are a matter of preference. The rubber o-rings by YYJ will fit the response area for the Legacy but you really donā€™t need to. Nevermind. But you wouldnā€™t need to use o-rings on the Legacy anyway. ---

Yeah, Lyn Fury or Kickside are the only ones that fits all his preferences. Legacy does not fit his ā€œresponseā€ preference. ---
