But once a blank gets tagged with the "fragile" label, it's hard to break that, but in point of fact, the 1322 is the most powerful 11' blank that Lamiglas makes, at least in their one piece models.
Currently I have six XRA's, five in use, one laid up due to my misuse/abuse at he ditch. I don't have a problem with thier sustainability in any way shape or form. Thinking, just thinking, due to all the hype about a BIG Dave special.
