Sorry that you feel that way Mike, but it's simply not true.
Our original SR6 and now SR6+ construction is not only completely unique, but it's patented. We invented it and we patented it. No one else uses anything like it. It's the only spliced shaft whose individual pieces are stressed relieved by turning before being assembled into the blank.
We are also the originator, and patent holder, of our laminated ferrule. By alternating the grain orientation from layer to layer, we create enough banding strength to make wood ferrules a reality. Again, an OB creation.
The ferrule and carbon fiber bridge system used in the new Classic+ and Pro+ is again another industry first. We're still putting together the website presentation of this, but inside it's a completely different animal.
Lastly, is our Infinity Inlays. Our patent pending process of creating part and pocket inlays with sharp points is another OB creation.
For as long as I can remember, the only way to get inlays with sharp points is to perform some kind of "cheat" for lack of a better term. Sometimes you cut a little circle to make room for the tip of the inlay and just fill it with colored epoxy. Sometimes they corners are chiseled open to fit, typically leaving some voids to hidden with some kind of filler. Then there are the negative space situations where you put an inlay partially over another to give the illusion that what you see is a single inlay with a sharp point.
With our Infinity inlays, we get sharp pointed inlays without any special little voids or chiseled corners. It's an extremely unique process that we actually created.
So Mike, again I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I assure it's just simply not true.
