Baron Jr Gent difference, $6!!!!!!
Correct the Jr Gent is tackier
My younger son will vouch for the aerodynamic properties of the JR G, as he has got through four at school using them as darts and thinks as Dad makes them they must be cheap and he breaks them regularily through blatant abuse.
The plastic insert does fail, I have made a couple of hundred and had about six failures. There was a bad batch in circulation but they seem to have worked their wasy through the system. All plastic/metal centre bands including the Orion from Woodturningz and the SR G from TB suffer from this component breaking, it is the achilles heal of this type of design.
