I really do like the concept, but I like my shaft cover, so sadly I have to pass. I do like the idea of a swappable ball/bat though. I don’t play wineglass, but out of curiosity how does the link feel in comparison to a standard setup?
can’t rush a good thing =)
TBH…I used to love shaft covers, but the link just makes the stick look more…technologically advanced. Like a different kind of stick that can’t be purchased by normal human. Something unique. And it doesn’t feel different at all from a standard JLF
Just got rtdzign’s little zipper case in the mail, and its the perfect size. Not a hard shell, but it’ll definitely protect from scuffs and scrapes. Thanks man!
I got one too! These are extremely limited edition. Rtdzign only had 3 of these available. Thanks!
is there a waiting/preorder list for the next batch? mind if i start 1?
waiting list:
- mangoX x 3
(sorry if there are people ahead of me, but i really didn’t see where to line up. lol)
wait, how much are these? bahhhh who cares, put me down for 3 anyway!
I’ll go ahead and add my name to that list.
CerebralVortex x 2
just to keep my name on the list lol.
Maybe yours felt the same due to your grip but I noticed it right away at EVO that wineglass holders will feel a difference. Is it a big deal? Nope… I will get used to it when I can get one! Lol
Indeed, well at least that’s what I keep telling myself haha.
Nice! I know he’s only got a few of those but if we can find a steady source (other than bugging rtdzign every time) of cases like that I’ll link that up in the first post so people can get those…or hell maybe I can find a source of them to have a package deal of sorts. Hmm… possibly a project while I wait on quotes. Is there a manufacturer/designer label on those (I just see “Mesh Case”)? Perhaps they make different variations.
There’s not really a wait list. Currently that list would be fairly large so keeping tabs alone would consume a lot of time. As it stands I’m just keeping people posted and when they’re available it’ll be first come first served. I “may” have pre-orders up before I get these made so I can get an accurate read of how many to actually make but currently I’m just shooting a number for quote and rolling with it.
This is good feedback, thank you. I don’t use wineglass grip so I don’t notice a difference but I’m betting there are many who will notice something. If it becomes an issue perhaps the design can be tweaked somehow, but that would have to be something to take care of down the line for sure.
I got them from a store called “Daiso Japan”. It is a Japanese home goods store that can only be described as a Japanese themed dollar store, but instead of a dollar, most things are $1.50. It looks like it is only a chain in California. As such the tag for the bag is in Japanese, and it looks like it is exclusively made for that store.
Daiso is everywhere in Korea. If you need me to take a look for any cheap, I’m sure I can ship a bunch of small items over for cheap.
I’ve been away for a while, any updates as to when I can get my hands on these?
Working on it now, no definite ETA just yet. Most of these fab houses have lead times with amazing accuracy like “2-6 weeks” lol. I should have a better idea next week though (I hope anyway :p).
@Francys Pai Wow that looks really slick with the clear/etched washer, very nice.
Just released PowerUp Podcast Episode #63 with Phreakazoid talking about Phreak Mods, TEasy Strike, The Link, and his future plans. I hope you all give it a listen and enjoy!
When these come out I think I could create a housing that could hold the ball and washer.
That would be great to see. Keep me posted!
OK, so quick update. In light of recent news I’ll be putting up a very special event for this weekend, so anyone itching to snag one of these this will be your chance to be first in line, with the side benefit of helping me get these made for the rest of the community.
Stay tuned, tech talk will be the first to know of this event.
Spread the news to all your friends… i have it on authority that spots are limited
Do wants! Hope I get a spot in line!!!
