Replying to Calling gear match gurus - How much more difficult is it to nose butter on a low 180 vs a high 170?
I want to add a pair of jib sticks to my quiver. I am looking for something easy entry into nose butters.
I realize the long rocker tips ski shorter and are easier to get into a press... but if I find it difficult to press a medium soft even flex like my 180 J Vacations, then is a mid 180 sized jibber a stupid idea or will it actually be a lot easier to press with that even thought it's longer?
My goal is to stay as long as possible without giving myself difficulty pressing. I don't wanna fight to get into it.
Swing weight is important to me but I think all of these options are going to tick that box.
Looking for an even flex, easy entry into nose butters and a chill radius.
I've got a quiver, this isn't going to be my every day ride.
I'm 5'10, 170lbs, and been doing flippy spinny stuff for... uhhh, lol, 23 years.
Thanks for the help.
Looking to find out if I should go high 170 or if low-mid 180 will be easy for me to press and butter with.
Any opinions on the options below for my size and preferences would be much appreciated
Blend (177, 185) | Bdog edgless or regular (180) | Wet (177, 183, 189) | Frankenski (182) | 1000 Park (178, 186)
Thanks 🙏👍
