But, they are relatively pricey compared to other companies that can prototype. ---

> [@jbritter3](#): > > sooo how do they play??? Mainly fast, but can go slow, nice easy wide catch zone, but comfortable and not to wide, D E A D smooth, super SUPER great finger spins even though its raw. With good hands regular grinds are amazing. Great for horizontal, awesome cup design. Only improvement might be the bearing seat. Its tiny tiny bit tighter than I would want it.
