Y- frame

Where can I find a pic of the Y-frame? Also what does it do exactly and does anyone know about how much it will cost?

if I have to drive to IAO just get a ULE trigger, it is done.

(IMs mossman to get the trip ready)

Welcome to AO!
I'll try and find a pic for you.
It's basically an intelliframe with a backwards angle to it. Almost like the old Z-Grip. but not that sharp of an angle.

It will probably be just stock parts. The old Carbon frames, SS bodies/Vavles, Level 7, etc.

Thanks! I have never understood the Z-grip. It doesn't make sense to me how people can play like that. If that is all that the Y-frame is then I'm afraid I will be a little disappointed with it. Oh well, thanks for the quick response and I still want to see the pic if you find it.

Here's a couple of pics of the Y-grip:

I think the Z- and Y-Grips are an excelent concept. When you play, pay attention to the angle of your wrist. If you use a drop, then your wrist may be cocked at an odd angle. The Z-grip was intended to straighten your wrist allowing you to pull the trigger with less strain. The Y-grip is slightly less angled than the Z, plus it has the mount foran I-link to your hopper like the Intelliframe.

I'm definately going to get one.

Cool! are you going to hold another contest???

Or is it just the X?

Z/Y grip?

What is the point of thw Z/Y Grip. What does turning the grip around do that people like so much? It seems that it would make it harder to shoot especially if you were laying down. Just trying to understand.

hey tom,

more importantly on the ULE Triggers, what are they going to run for cost?

at the MM i heard guestimations as low as $30, all the way up to $100

If you cant give an exact cost, maybe a ballpark price? (not that it really matters to me, im still getting one, so, price is not going to turn me away from this upgrade)

If you're playing tight and snap-shooting, you'll probably notice your wirst is at an odd angle. The z/y-grips are meant to alleviate that, making it easier to pull the trigger with less strain. It may not be as advantagious (sp ) if you're lying down, but I really like the idea.

Z/Y grip

OK I think I understand. It seems that they would be of more use if you had a drop forward. I personally don't use one just so that I don't have to cock my wrist so much. It is more comfortable without one (for me at least) because it feels more like holding a real gun. Also while I haven't played in a tourny before that is the style of play I prefer and it seems like the Z/Y grips are less popular among tourny style players. Thanks for the clarification though.

AGD:
i dont know if you would go for it but i might as well offer it.
If you want those trigger prototypes done sooner, i could do it exactly to your specs and it would only be about 2 weeks all together.
