First Question: I read that the Matte Black Draupnir has a wider gap than the normal one, is that true? Second Question: I see that all the big YYR guys use the Matte Black Draupnir. Does it have better performance? Thanks ---

Wider gap Draups are new matte black, attune, 44Clash, EYYC 2015 and YYA And no,the matte black doesn’t outperform the others ---

> [@YOYOJAMizm](#): > > the matte green and purple 44clash ones works just as fine Yeah but I imagine the 44clash one is harder to find and I like the look of the black.
