Sorry the video quality isn’t the best, but It’s the best i could do! Won first place, and beat out all the other competitors by at least 10 points.  Very proud with how i did, thanks guys for all the support. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NocI0NQqcZA?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=HL1353345907 ---

Dude great job I watched you do this in person. You was a natural with the crowd, no fear. I got nervous and ended up backing out being my first time too. I have only been throwing for about 4 months and I guess I was not confident in my skill. It takes a lot of guts to go up your first time,guts that I did not have but I honor you in your performance It looked like you have been doing it for a while! ---

So white is what it will remain and they are amazing strings, all I will ever use. Also back on topic, that was pretty sick man. Great performance and you definitly deserved 1st. ---
