I was to late, my poor buddy of mine such a waste.  So much money down the drain that could have gone to a nice storm, brunswick, or legends ball.  Even a Ebonite, Track, or Columbia would do fine but an Elite... ALIEN at that.  Oh Im sad to see this, I had to share my dismay with others.  I hope he likes it which he probably will but he could have gotten something close to it now and could have bought two of them grrr.
Owell
