BK3 Reviews?

[zpele]

Now that the BK3 has been out for a bit are there any reviews out there?

I'm looking for the perspective of someone coming from a BK2 but anyone with a review is good.

And I believe mike dechaine posted about it very early, maybe before it was released, and basically said it was the nuts. On the other hand, he's getting paid by predator.

I haven't tried it yet but most players seem happy with their purchase. Personally I think it's mostly about technique... shane got famous for his break long before the BK3 was invented. But, who knows, maybe his technique + BK3 is even better than his usual results.

Thanks a lot. I actually talked to Mike Dechaine in person about it and he raved about it. I always take that kind of stuff with a grain of salt though because it's what he's paid to do.

My break doesn't even compare to Shane's break but from watching the stream this past weekend it didn't look like he was breaking that hard. He just modulates his break speed to be perfect for the table. I however tend to play on shitty tables a lot and being able to modulate my break speed to the required speed for the table is pretty hard to do in a short race.

So I basically want the hardest hitting breaker available. I also tend to flex the shaft quite a bit on my breaks so I need it to be stiff but a bit whippy if that makes sense.
