There are a few heads in question here. Bionic, Answer, Vapor, Rocket, and revolution. Here's what I've seen and y I'm having a little trouble.

Rocket: I can't see what makes the Rocket entry-level, and its a little bit less pinched than the answer by 2 cm. And is .2 oz heavier. And it only comes in a complete stick, which is annoying even thought it's only 40. Why is this entry level?

Bionic: Heavy, coming in at 5.something oz. But is pinched like the answer unless Im mistaken. A plus is that I wont have to drill a hole into my Vanadium. I just don't want another heavy brick like the fuse. I'm pretty sure I'll feel an uncomfortable difference since Ive been using a cyber for a while. How much does the weight stand out compared to the others?

Vapor: Based on the picture it is a wide head and I don't understand how. It looks wider than the Rocket, but the rocket is entry-level. They said this was better but I dont see it. Weighs just as much as the rocket. Why is it as wide as it looks in the picture compared to the others?

Answer: Is .2 oz lighter than the rocket, and is pinched well. They say the Vapor is better for middies, and it is a 20 bucks more than the vapor. If I could get this for less than 50 this would win no doubt. And it probably will anyway.

Revolution: around the same price range, i dont know much about it. Actually I don't know why it's up here. But it may be good, so I wont count it out.

Answering the following would help

Is the vapor that wide?
Is the rocket that much more pinched than the vapor?
Is the answer sexy? if so where can I get it cheaper than 50 bucks because I cant find it for less than that, even though thats a really good price.
Is the bionic another brick?
What is the revolution?

links do not work, and it is all preference

vapor- yes it is that wide

rocket- yes

answer- yes, laxworld.com plus the code IL806 gets it under 50

bionic- yes

revo- a good middie/defense head from warrior, stiff, durable, not too heavy, a good head in my opinion


it is your choice to buy what you buy, out of the ones you said, i would say go with another cyber, if you dont want another cyber, i say the revolution or answer

the Vapor is pretty wide but i dont think its much wider if wider at all than a cyber.
the rocket is a starter head that i personally dont like.
not a fan of the answer either
the bionic is heavy, but strong, and i never felt that it was too heavy. unless you like a really light stick
the revolution is the head that came before the revo pro. its a wide stiff head that many people like for D, some middies use them as well.

try to find them in stores, this all comes down to personal preference.

1-Yes the vapor is that wide.
2-Its not a major difference like from cyber-evo pro, but yea its a bit more pinched then the vapor.
3-The answer is sexy, but gets pretty flexible. You can find it for cheap just check out www.laxshopper.com and read through our "Discount Codes" thread.
4-That is preference, i like the bionic. It may be heavy but it really started the whole "Keyhole Pinch" craze and is a good head IMO"

5- Ahh, god i love the Warrior Revolution so my little bit of info may be a bit bias. A great head put out from warrior that you can get for under $50. Nice and stiff, lasted me for 2 years before i sold it, and it really isn't heavy at all. Has one of the best scoops in the game. Seriously...That scoop was the reason i bought the head in the first place, it makes GB's easy as all get out.

You can have people throw out their opinion on these heads untill the cows come home, but the best thing you can really do is find a friend who owns one, or go to a store with these heads and work your decision out from there.

Thanks alot, all of ur help really helped me in my decision. I found an answer for 52 with shipping included! Btw do the links really not work, cuz they do when I click on them.

And do you mean that the pinch is the same in the vapor as it is in the cyber, or the wideness at the top is the same? Well you could just answer if the pinch on the vapor is alot wider than the cybers.

Also how does this match up? I could get a strung vapor for about 48 or an unstrung answer for 52 which is more worth it?

id rather have the answer because even if you wind up not liking it, youll have a harder time getting rid of the vapor, but the answer would sell in a day or 2.

i would say stick witht the cyber b/c its a good head or get the warrior revo because it is similar with maybe a bit more pinch and is a tank on defense

My cyber is crooked though. Even though it's still useable I want something different but not too different because I like the cyber. And I think I've found the answer to my problems. :)
