I had an Idol Pearl for about a year. Almost everywhere I wanted to use it, my Honey Badger and HyRoad Nano ended up being better options. I recently purchased a Hero. Better option than Idol Pro, or Honey badger, especially on flatter patterns. Nano has been really good, but Hero may be more versatile
Everyone is different so my exoerience may not match others, but For my lower speed stroker style the Hero is better than any oearl I have tried over the past several years
