that is a bum deal. i have 5 sy S7 blades and no problems. I beat the yg so hard i hurt after. it is amazing. i really do believe that the problem may not come from the same batch but as a percentage sy blades have an extremely high level of quality. every blade i own is perfect, just last week i received a non busse blade in sub par condition, boy was i bumed. so i hear you, but busse has always done very well, i hope everthing is straightened out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
