Ok, so i just went to my local lax store to look at equipment and i saw only the brine and Gait stuff. The first thing he showed me was the Flights:
I tried them on. There VERY small. I tried on them and the 13'' feel like 12'' super freaks, i think it was bad on brines part. They also felt really light and had no protection. The next thing i saw was the new Mikey Powell swizzle:
The first thing i saw about the shaft was the grip. The grip that was on the Ti shaft was gone, its now just a regualr shaft but with a lot of decals. It gives some extra grip but not enough i think. The second thing i felt was how light it was. It was pretty light, almost as the Kpro. I think that it will be as strong if not stronger than the Kpro. After that i saw the new Diesil by Gait:
This thing was the widest thing ive ever saw. Then he told me that this was a begginers head. This i never expected. The shooters were actually the plastic ones taht someone pointed out. The head i also noticed was stiff and its onset, weve not seen one of these in a while. Then i saw the Pulse:
The head was pretty stiff. The rubber things are actually really strong. I had to punch it pretty hard to even get the band to move about 1/2 and inch. It comes with 1 repalcement and 1 thats not as strong. 3 in total. Since the pocket wasnt broken in, i couldnt tell if it was capable to get a nice pocket, but all new factory strung heads are like that.
From laxattack888:
I also tried on the Exodus MP gloves, and the 13" fit like 12" superfreaks. It was almost ridiculous, I had to put the individual wrist guard on first, which is tight to put on, even for my skinny little wrists. The gloves themselves are comfortable, but similar to the flights, the 13" fit like 12". I had to jam my fingers into them, then disperse my hand when I got my fingers into the right slots. Once on, they were almost constricting, but comfortable. Also, the opening around the wrist is too tight to fit the independent wrist guard into (smaller than even the Defts!) so I had to slide the guard up my hand so I could move my wrist upward with the glove on. The palms, silk or not, were really comfortable, but overall the Exodus don't nearly beat the Mac Daddy ltd's or even the regular Mac Daddies in comfort. You think the Superfreaks are tight, wait until you try on these guys. The only thing I left out is that they're tanks. Tight, small little tanks. They are covered in Carbon Fiber plates, about as twice as much as the G-Forces, but imagine 3 plates per finger, Supercrosse knuckles, and then the MP isignia. That's about it.
Finally, the MP armguards. I tried on the Mediums because I wear a Warrior Medium Ap, but the Exodus Mediums are like larges, and the larges too big for anyone. These Mediums fit like I could put both my arms into one pad, and they only bend at two points, and if I slid my arm over, it would only bend at the same spot on the elbow. They were comfortable, and just like the gloves, coated in Carbon Fiber, but for the prices, I just don't think either one is worth it.
Im just letting you guys know this just for refrence. THIS IS NOT A REVIEW! I actually was thinking about getting the Pulse but ended up getting a Evo Pro.
