    One is coming up cheap at auction…might be able to snag it for $20. Anyone have any experience with this spring-loaded weirdo?

    Never used one but have heard of them. Mostly a gimmick from what I've gathered.

    I have one. It was a gift, a number of years ago.

    I see no advantage with the extra spring wedges. I still prefer to use my x27.

    I've had one for a long time. Tried it a couple times and it doesn't work all that well. Much rather use the Isocore when I need to swing something. If you were close, I'd give it to you.

    Good to know—I’m no longer tempted. Thank you!
