CoreCo is also in the process of developing something in this vein, and it should be pretty rad.
Honestly I tend to play wood or unresponsive without blending into the responsive metal zone too much. I’ve yet to find one that truly and totally nails it. Walter is great fun, and honestly, so is a well-tuned SB2. I think we got pretty close to the mark with the SPYY Flying V, too, but my bias is showing. And I’m not sure anybody’s really captured the feeling of a new Freehand or Renegade (though admittedly, that feeling doesn’t last for long).
Nice to see you back around, Paul. I remember you from Dave’s board!
