Just to echo what Grammer said, I've been in the same situation (surgery etc). I'm sure any of the high-end shoulder pads would be fine (I like the Jofas though), but the best protection is building muscle to keep everything in place.
Sorry if this is considered blasphemous, but I really wish Easton would release a non-white Mako, preferably all black. I'm a huge SE16 fan, since that's been gone I've been using EQ50 shafts and OPSs, tried the RS, too. I would love to essentially have a new SE16, but I don't like the all white.
Obviously one would have to order six sticks, but saw that you can choose graphics (RS, Mako, S19 Pure) on custom Makos at PSHG now.
Agree with RinkRat, not sure that the letters are consistent from what I've seen. What does seem to be correct is the sticker inside the top of the shaft on Easton sticks, which was mentioned by Kovey10 in the other thread.
Guys, while we're on the subject... How grippy are the Pittard palms that Easton uses? Have only used the grey and beige clarino from them so far, but may give the pittard a shot on my next pair of customs. Thanks!
