i have two cybers now and i am looking to upgrade to either an answer or an e3. i searched for a while but i cant find a good forum that gives enough info on the answer, can you guys tell me a some deciding factors between the two of them i.e.(pinch, durabilty, stiffness, scoop, control, hold, all that jazz) price and weight dont need to be factored into your analysis.

the answer is really nice. mine is actually more pinched than the e3 my friend has. it was durable enough survive varsity hs lax. its not amazingly stiff, but its not like you can bend the top to touch the bottom either, its really not that bad. scooping is realy easy with it. and control is great because its really pinched (when i first got it i had trouble stringing it legally cuz the ball kept getting stuck in the throat) but hold and stuff is determined by the stringing, not by the head

I own both. Either one is a great head. The answer is a little lighter than the e3, but the e3 is more durable. They both have great pinches and great scoops. If you play aggressive and stick check a lot, then I would reccomend the e3. If you take faceoffs, I also would reccomend the e3. If you play attack, or more of an offensive midfield, I would reccomend the answer, but in the end, you have to decide.

The e3 is stiffer, and most likely more durable in the end. It is also extremely pinched, as much as the old answers in my opinion. It is a diffferent kind of pinch though, the answer flares out at the top whilethe e3 makes a sharp curve out. The main throat is prettty much parallel to the other side. Either head is a good choice

im pretty sure i have a first gen answer and it is so sweet. its about as pinched as an e3, but please keep in mind i have a first gen (i think). the only prob i have w/my answer is that the topstring wears down fast.

E3=Stiff, Heavy, Durable, Good scoop
Answer=Lighter, Great Pinch, About the same Scoop, Better Overall
