Yeah! I love how the light reflects off of it. It makes it look... idk... dangerous.
Very shiny. Looks like a beast!!

Congratulations Shag!!! You will NOT be disappointed at all.
I'll be eager to hear a review since you're going from a 8-footer to a 9-footer while I did the opposite.
You might find some of your tricks harder to do!
Post more pics once you get it!

Looks amazing. It seems like he really captures the Jacka-style stiff transition from handle to thong.
Way to go choosing 9-feet, too. The perfect compromise and answer to the 8 vs. 10 debate!

yeh Im just hoping that I can handle the 9 footer!
so far the longest I have cracked has been a 7.5/8 footer so there is always a timing difference with changing lengths..... but im sure i can adapt..
