    Doesn't the shape of the power box frame on the Thruster looks like the Amortec frame to you guys?

    Indeed I did - much cheaper than here in GER and I'll destroy both of them for sure anyway. Last pair of them lasted me about 3 or 4 months...

    spira 22 has a bad rep and it's probably quite hard to find them now.

    not sureif they fit the budget either? I'm guessing braveswords don't come in under £100 sgd?

    Spiras are being sold by e-link for SGD90 now frame only iirc. I suppose he could try the lower end braveswords but I never bothered with them so it's hard to say what the cost it haha..

    I had the BS168 or whatever it's called and didn't like it particularly, but there's a heap of others in the range now that might be better.

    I really liked the SW310 too, that was dirt cheap and played really well. Warning though it is head-heavy at 305bp and the mid-flex shaft makes it play more head-heavier than it is.

    I'm solely buying a Thruster just so I can say "My Thruster needs regripping, and I need your help!" ;)

    The good news is you'll be able to hit hard and fast with your Thruster, but don't forget the protective cover...

    i'm not sure about the hard and fast part, but if you get one that is light and maneuverable, you can forego the protective cover as it should be fast enough to be pulled out in time... :p

    dang! how does victor come up with this name anyways?! :p

    Nonono. Hard and fast is too tiring. You need a good touch game. Although, is the shaft on the Thruster going to be adequate? It's quite flexible it seems, so this would be good for awkward positions, so maybe it might be okay. I'll have to ask a pro lady.

    Protective cover is a good idea Visor, although that's a bit amateur. The pro's use a bag that can hold 12.
