Now I try and be patient and go after my "draft picks" accordingly. I liked the XXX line but just wasn't for me once I got the BT out enough to decide to keep her or not. I packaged the BT and another pick I thought I would like but just didn't do "it" for me in the XX launcher. Hopefully that can be enough to score a higher draft pick that is on my board so to speak. in the near future. It is fun because you really get a mystery almost every time unless I get personal time with a prospect. Scout/Reviews from others can take you so far, and then what if that prospect is a sleeper pick and there is no info available so you take that gamble or not Most of my experience I just have to go and take the plunge depending on funds and what I need on my team. Or just or I take the gamble and get a pick based on "potential talant" Or specs

If you're wanting a top prospect, you'll need to pay up.
The XXX isn't going to flourish, and perform better with years to come lol.
The price point is paralleled to it's performance, and that wasn't a secret from the get go, not sure what you were expecting.

It's the typical Mitsubishi Rayon Pyrofill blank.

Mav, sorry if you felt I dissed your home team. I am MB fan and I am familiar on how price point to performance principles work. I wasn't expecting anything amazing, just wasn't for me. I figured I explained my view on gear decent enough. This was in no way a knock. I like the series just not enough to stay on the squad.

No offense taken.
Just seems as though you were expecting more out of the XXX.

negative, all love here. In fact Hyuga has been on my board for a minute now. not to redirect but I like all things MB

Just has to have that "it" to stay in my dynasty which I try to keep at a reasonable sized team so the wife doesnt 187 on my arse

doesn't matter price point. I come from humble humble beginnings. Proud to join in on the fun that is the "darkside"

I ordered the Black Elseil II xXx and Perfect Pitch XX from Gary. Now to wait.

truth be told I am keeping the XXX Destruction down a few spots on my draft board still so hopefully the gentleman up above will get some data out on it. Not that I really need it, more or less a way to rationalize not getting now

I have some hot prospects in that weight range coming soon though but she seems like a fun stick! Really love MB's rods in that 3/8-2oz range!!

What replaced your Orochi X4 Black Python? I ask because I'm on my 2nd X4 Seven Eleven and some day I will need a super versatile long stick replacement.

Dang I miss that rod! Really haven't found a replacement for that long sword. I really need to revisit that 16' JDM Destroyer 7'11" though.
