ATL Polo getting the come up

I've been working with Eighth Inch for a while now helping them develop their mallet heads. Well, the wait has finally come to an end with these fine final models.





The come in a handful of different colors and are made of HDPE-- the same material that most players are currently using.  Designed around a one bolt attachment method swapping out shafts is extremely fast.  A cool feature that keeps the mallet heads from being proprietary (which is a pet peeve of mine) is that the diameter of the opening in the mallet for the shaft is 19mm.  This is the same diameter of the non-tapered end of a ski pole.


All in all I am extremely happy with how the final design turned out-- they play wonderfully and are super solid.  I can't wait until their production shaft drops because the combo of the two should be one of the stoutest set-ups on the market.

Doin' Tricks

Went riding with Kareem and Sean over the weekend.  Sean snapped this pic of me right before my rear axle broke.  Gotta love the crazy face--

Latest wheel build-- 26" Velocity Cliffhanger rims laced to Profile True 3/8" hubs.  Pretty sick build and going to a great guy in Canada.  We're international folks!
