Apex2 Freak Tip

[Spider-TW]

But there are a few places that I play at that have some overhead brush that it would be nice to be able to not arc long balls.

It does expand the number of spots where you can get under an over hang and the opposition cannot. Accurate or not, it definitely changes your point of aim as you increase the spin. Setting my old one on full spin (vertical) means I have to point up a lot to keep from hitting the ground. It dips before rising back up. It reminds me of looking up while trying to see out of the bottom of fogged goggles.

Do the new tips do that?

That would be awkward...

Also, the tests that CP did I assume were done with a standard Apex ready barrel? Wonder how underboring would effect things?

Messed with both Apex and Apex2 on the standard barrel they come with as well as a Deadlywind Fibur, doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in trajectory, though as expected the underboring did increase velocity a bit.

The "accuracy" of the Apex tips is a bit interesting. There is a bit less horizontal variation between shots, but a bit more vertical variation compared to the same barrel without the tip. At around half ramp on the Apex and a little past a third on the Apex2 they shoot pretty damn flat for about 2/3rds of a speedball field.

The thing that stood out most across the last few weekends of playing with them is how valuable it is to be able to take the Apex off the barrel in a matter of seconds in the middle of the game, which is really only possible with a Fibur or a barrel with the same diameter such that it can use the DW Apex adapter.
