w968 vs hurricane long 5

[htfu]

a question to anyone who has had the good fortune of using both the w968 and the hurricane long 5 :

are there any significant differences, if so what are they
which do you prefer and why
is the speed rating really off++

They're meant to be the same, except one's just commercialised?

I'm considering getting a HLong 5 since I can't find W698 for the penhold

yeah, looking at the specs listed on ttnpp they look to be pretty much the same .. apart from the printing on the blade face and the handle colours.

would really like to have a knock with one ... but i'm a bit uncertain of the carbon layers as the hurricane king 3 that i had felt pretty weird (mushy and lifeless) compared to an all wood blade. pity i don't know anyone locally that has one :/

i though dan was going to post a review of the w968 ... wonder if that is still going to happen?

They are not the same.... Yeah dan is going to be doing a review very soon

Do you guys know where it's possible to get a penhold version of the W968??

A site link would be great that ships to Aus
