Proton Power: This is one of the most talked about items of 2006 and in my experience, one of the best items as well. a must buy imo
Weight 9/10: This is a light head. While not as light as the torque or truth, this is still very light. combined with the swizzle, it creates a very light combo. they removed alot of very unneeded plastic from the original proton. the result is a light, more streamlined proton power.
Strength 8/10: Obviously not the strongest head on the market, but in terms of strength to weight ration, its gotta be one of the best. its very, very strong for its weight. i may be using it on my pole this year, i am undecided. but i deff am considering it as a legit d'head.
Pinch 9/10: the pinch on this is teriffic. i love it. its a very angled pinch, not a keyhole pinch that alot of sticks have these days. i like this kind of pinch much better. i think that it makes the stikc have a smoother release, but thats just me. it obviously also helps with control. this stick has nasty hold, especially if it is strung well.
String Compatability 5/10: There are only 2 bottom holes. not four. no traditional. enough said.
Shot Speed9/10: degree of offset of the side walls creates alot of natural whip, hence increasing shot speed. i like it alot as a shooter, it allows you to really crank it without alot of whip in your stick.
Appreance 10/10: the head is friggen sexy. its very smooth and sleek. it remionds me of a sports car the way the curves all culminate into one very hot looking head.
Swizzle 7075: A new shaft for 2006. All you MP haters listen close. reviews of shafts are pretty generic but i will try my best.
Strength8/10 shaft is rather strong. its a 7075 alloy with is the same as an ignite supra and comparable to a krypto and whatever the STX c405 shaft is. its pretty dent resistant, but with all alloys it is more likely to snap then dent. but being a position short stick defender i probaly wont have a problem.
Lightness9/10 like i said above, combined with the proton power, it makes a very, very light stick.
Grip(for now) 10/10: this thing has sick grip. the shaft is first coated with the logos, the the grippy coating. the coating is just the right amount of grip. not too slippery, not too grippy. just right. and the grip really does fade along with the mp logos. i love the grip and hope it last a long time, which brings me to my next point. the grip is already worn off in some spots and ive had it for less than a week. i am concerned about it, but ill just tape it up if it happens.
appearance 10/10: so cool looking. i think i have one of the best looking stick ive ever seen/ised. its awesome. the mp logos look so cool and with the sexy p2 its just amazing.
i dunno if id buy the swizzle on my own but i got it for free from brine after my glove fiasco.
