When you look at what is considered "best of breed" examples from both makers you could not have any more different hit feel and feedback possible.

For Scruggs it's the flat faced ivory joint with a big pin and for Tascrella it's a steel 5/16-14 compression.

Those joints are night and day from each in both hit and transmission and is so closely linked to the shooters preference I honestly don't understand how you can recommend one over the other.

For folks reading this thread for the first time I can not stress how important it would be to shoot with an example of both style before buying unless your a collector and plan on having examples of both in your collection any way.

But the difference is significant and that's just factoring in joint alone not even breaking the ground on very different construction methods each maker used much less wood selection.

TLDR: opinions are like assholes everybody has one and in this situation don't listen to anyone. You have to shoot personally with both makers joint types before buying anything....

I took somebody elses 3d model of a magnetic chalk holder and then, imo, fixed it to work properly. Now everybody I know wants one. They use 12x3mm n52 magnets, have a low side profile so you can use the entire chalk, require no glue, and are easy to change the chalks out when they're done. I'll try to remember to post some pictures soon.

PM sent, will take it and the shaft pending response to my message.
