Yes, it is the exact same thing as the Northstar but it was changed so it would be for Team Shaqler. 🙂 ---

It might have seemed like it has more weight. The brain is a funny thing. It is identical to the Northstar. ---

Yes - Actually, it’s quite interesting… They are exactly the same thing! ---

^^^ This. There are indeed the same. If the specs are the same how can one weigh more? ---

However, the Northstar and Shaqlerstar do not have different weight distributions. ---

They are exactly the same. Although, I would say that Shaqlerstars are less prone to that insane pulse vibe on some Northstars. I’ve had 2 Northstars, and although my Shaqler plays exactly the same, it is definitely the smoothest. ---
