Love my peak 2. The old one felt like a rock but this one feels just right on the string.

Ive heard a couple people mention they thought the Peak was heavy on the string. I do not get that feeling when i play mine. Looking forward to getting my own Peak 2.

It’s got a unique feel to it IMO hard to put into words.

It’s because you’ve only played a 3rd run. The 2nd (most prolific) run was a bit heftier.

I think I might of thrown a older peak once. But wasn’t versed enough to appreciate it. But after finally getting my peak2… wow! I know some have given Chris grief over where they are made. Now I definitely prefer to support North American jobs. But no matter where it’s made this thing ticks all the boxes for me. It’s crazy smooth and stable. Moves fast and effortless. I love it.

I got lucky. A friend was trying to get beach party, so he had his brother tag team the drop. He ended up with two beach parties and sold me one. Since we were both out of town for the holidays, I had to wait. Just got it in hand last night.

All the 1/1 painted peaks are gorgeous! I had the chance to buy the Solid Gold Dancer a few years back, before I started collecting peaks. I passed it onto YoyoBrothers, who is now the proud owner… if only I knew what I had stumbled upon!
