Well I got one used off ebay pretty damm cheap, and it arrived today. Its really not as strong as I thought it would be. I had to play like 10 to 5 with it. I think it also has to do with the drilling. Its drilled pin under ring, with the CG swung about an inch and a half from grip center, and about 3/4 of an inch down. The RAD is like an inch right and down of the thumb, or around there. Its also got a weighthole, I think Im gonna get everything plugged and redrilled stronger. Any suggestions? Think a stonger drilling will get it to move a bit more?

And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS!

The thing you have to remember about the xxx is that the block is really stronger than you might think. I have 3 of them and the one that amazes me the most is the one with the pin under my middle finger. If I am not careful I can make the ball check really hard on the back. The blocks are so strong for me that I need to spin the ball a tad bit. Ball still hits great.
