I don’t think people care that much about what type of centering bearing it is as long as it is centering. I know Gentry said the same thing in one of his latest interviews(“anything that centers the string” or something like that) I would consider wing more of a flat bearing than a centering though, I just mentioned it to be thorough In any case I think CT will win because it’s kind of the middle ground ---

Probably true. But for me, CT just isn’t centering _enough_. ---

Yeah I prefer the full centering bearings but it doesn’t make too much of a difference to me. In 1a anyway. I’m still sure I could tell the difference but Idk if I would be confident enough to bet a large sum of money in a blind test of CT vs KK. ---

I find the current voting results of this poll very satisfying since it aligns perfectly with my opinions on the matter 😏 (Keeping the string away from the sides is the critical bit, “perfect centering” is not necessary and probably feels worse.) ---

Play wise, I like them all equally, aside from grooved. My favorite are multi step because they look the coolest to me. I know it’s kind of silly since it will have a string hiding them most of the time. ---
