... So far I have received my CG and it cuts way better than my proto. And it is balanced better too. ...
I was excited when the prototype Boss Jacks were released at Knob Creek, and really wanted to love them. However, they felt blade-heavy to me when I got to hold them, so I placed a couple proxy orders, but didn't get any for myself. Many folks like a heavier blade, but it just wasn't what I expected. The next show, I really liked the Boss Jack that was part of the Desert Warfare set, which surprised me. I decided that it must have been a case of having overly high expectations of the protos, then being happy with the CGs due to lower expectations. I'm somewhat relieved to hear that there really is a difference in balance -- it wasn't just me being fickle.
