The original Chico top and me have some issues, but I think it's the spacer is just too big. I think you guys need to take a look at it. It plays good but the tip keeps nudging out and it bugs me. Give me a solution to fix it and I'll try it.
The 2.0, I'd say make a bit bigger but not by much. I like the shape. The tip.... not so much. The flare is fantastic but the edges are sharp, so they'd need to be softened up a bit. A touch more crown weight relative to the size, and a taller ridge or whatever for wrapping the string onto and smooth it out on the inside so it doesn't look threaded.
I'd also like to see it sold as a kit with either multiple parts or multiple tips so it an play fixed, bearing or one-way. It doesn't have to be like the S8 STB3.0, I'm fine with having to use tools to take it apart(or you can provide them) and configure it the way I want. I'd probably end up buying 2, 1 for fixed and one for bearing. I'm not into one-way bearing play yet as my skills don't merit it(I can't regen yet, not ready to learn just yet but getting closer every day). Or, maybe some sort of lock-down gimmick like the S8 Love tops use to convert from bearing to fixed via the cap.
Or perhaps a shape like the one this article. The guy with the top is my friend Joseph Pallagi of Eternal Throw.
