When I build some new mallets I'm going to just try flareing out the fixing end or sutin. It doesn't look particularly complex to knock something up similar.

Chan, could you bring me back a fixcraft ultalite pole from your american travels please? Ideally red but will be happy with any colour really. xxx

Lol, if you have luggage space you could probably get quite a few orders in, but you might have to tell customs they're commercial samples if they stop you. To be fair, we have no idea what they're like, so they would really be samples!

Rincewind

why would it matter if they're commercial samples or not? They're gonna check all you're luggage and make you pay VAT on anything you bought?

Importing commercial samples of negligible value free of duty and VAT

Quote:

2.1 What are the conditions for relief?
You can get relief on samples of goods of any kind if, when imported, they:

can only be used as samples
are of negligible value and
are intended to obtain orders for the type of goods they represent.

3.1 How do I claim relief on goods imported in baggage?
If you import goods in your baggage, you must declare them to us at the Customs Red Channel or Red Point when you arrive.

I would expect such a sample to carry manufacturing item codes rather than finished branding, and we would be intending to perform [i]destructive[/i] testing of Fixcraft products, comparing with other available products, with a view to approving future trade.

If it's shafts then it'll need to be a quite a few as more 1 than the 3 I'm ordering leave you with only the more expensive shipping. There is room for 4 more heads on the cheaper shipping too, not checked on other stuff.

Shafts are all bendy/breaky. Heads are good but I want some fixcraft shafts and may as well try out the heads too. Good work for your sponsors though.

Lol.

I remember when Chan was rocking Fixcraft Ultralite 2375 on Milwaukee Green last winter.

Then Milk.

they're all pretty much the same, shafts bend and break due to bad technique IMO

The heads are sweet but I've seen enough shafts bend and break after very little use to put me off, the newest hija ones ain't been great either and some of the NS have split a bit too easily. The fixcraft have a skinnier profile at the end which I like and are threaded and notched at the end for the connect thing, plus they work out at roughly the same price and are in sweet colours. I ain't sponsored or unpoor enough to go through shafts regularly so need them to last.

The NS "splitty" shafts were apparently the last batch of the painted version. Current ones are anodised, and I haven't heard any similar complaints about those.
