Yes of course both sites are currently active. I think we can slowly migrate over there. We can start new topics there and keep the ones alive here while we make the transition. I'm still tweaking a few things as they crop up. Only when the migration is complete will I lock this Board and make it r...

Tip damping first and foremost comes from the blank design itself. Its mass distribution and stiffness. Blanks do twist through the horizontal axis and it's possible that this can help cause them to fail. and think that, in accordance to the AFFTA guidelines, can actually change the line rating Wha...

One of my methods of rod assessment is to shock the rod on the backcast and watch the bottom leg of the loop. For example, the TCR 5 has a significant amplitude, short wavelength that runs along th...

Let's see how long we can handle posting on two Boards. I'm already confused.

It's not how it bends during the stroke Bernd, it's how the tip behaves after the stop. If you watch the bottom leg of the loop you can see a damping difference between Recoils Singles and H&H Singles. I've had the opportunity to see this first hand. It may not matter to most people, and it cer...

We have 4000 members. Hopefully I don't have to register them all, but if I do then no worries. And yes PMs no problems, we haven't shut this Board yet, just trying out the new one, and I won't close PMs for a long time. This forum software is 7 years old and the company who produced them have coll...

When we're happy with the interface, I'll lock this Board down, make it read only and we'll move over there. I'll put a link somewhere leading to the old board. I'm continually surprised that this one still functions and has not been compromised. The new software appears much slicker and the search...

New Board testing

Hi guys, I need some of you to login to http://www.sexyloops.co.uk/theboard/index.php so we can play around with the posting, how the Board looks and so on.
