You mean right as the catch zone starts?
How can you tell the difference between a QV and a QV Proto?

Protos were done in that pink color, which isn’t out in the production run. I’m not sure if the protos were blasted either, the production IS blasted.

I just threw it this for the first time today and it’s exceptionally smooth going on my limited experience.

The groove is half up the catch zone where the angle changes. Subtle but easy to spot once you know.

Sorry. Right. Start of the catch zone, not gap.
Protos are all pink and have pyramatte finish.

Have not read this whole thread, but how does qv compare to normal kuntosh? More stable? Smoother (hard to imagine)?

Same smoothness and stability. I’d say it has better acceleration. Its 1.5g lighter.

QV has a stronger spin and better stability. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true.

QV is fantastic. I like both versions, though.

It’ll take more abuse than a normal finish.

Thanks! I’m considering getting that finish. Really don’t need it though. I only throw my nice throws over carpet most of the time. Anyways as far as the 5000QV goes does it feel lighter than the 6061 while doing fast maneuvering?

Yeah it does feel lighter. I put a set of ultra lights in one of mine and it’s really light that way. 64g I think. Super fast.
