    My BLX Tour suffered a rather forceful 'drop' during a team warm-up overhead drill. It didn't sound good, but I didn't see anything other than marred paint immediately. Later I noticed a sort of paint bubble and when I scraped it away and peeked under the bumper guard ... it's cracked on the...

    BLX Tour vs. BLX Blade 98

    Currently playing the BLX Tour. I like it, but it's ugly. Can anyone offer a head to head comparison (playability beyond specs)? I'm very tempted to demo, but don't string myself and the demos always come with ick. Thanks!
