These look awesome, I feel like they will have excellent balance since the cups are almost the same size.
They look similar to the pop shape, but I have a feeling these'll share the plus-size of a slaydawg. I assume the 1% means they'll be 1% bigger?
I believe it is a 1% bigger pop! So slightly less chunky than a slaydawg, but bigger than a pop. It will likely have the largest cups Krom has to offer. I am looking into that Rolf mod
I believe it is the Pop shape with a small cup that is 1% smaller than the big cup...so therefore almost exactly the same.
That is a possibility, but I personally doubt it. Krom confirmed that the tama is 1% bigger, and aspects of the ken are tweaked, leading me to believe that it is overall 1% larger. Also from the pictures the small cup is still noticeably smaller than the big cup, but your idea may still be valid. Did you hear about the cup thing from somewhere? or is it just speculation. I am really interested in this shape and will likely buy the Rolf mod to compare to one of my pops.
The shape is the same as the BL shape (Pops, etc), but every dimension has been increased in size by 1%.
Maybe it's just me but if the measurements are only bumped by 1% I probably wouldn't notice. The largest measurement change, 1.77mm, is only about 1/16 of an inch. The measurements below are the Pop specs + 1%. total height: 177mm + 1.77mm sarado width: 72mm + 0.72mm tama diameter: 59mm + 0.59mm small (ID) 38mm + 0.38mm big (ID) 42mm + 0.42mm base (ID) 35mm + 0.35mm
1% doesn't feel like much of a change imo...but then you have the Craft Plus, which is 5% bigger but somewhat noticeable.
Which Mod you guys gonna go for?? Rolf, Iji, Bonz or Fish?? I don't think Iji wanted the drilled basehole which is interesting...
When you see his playing style Iji does do tricks where the ken is spinning on the tip of his finger using the basecup. That’s probably why he didn’t want a basecup hole. Personally I’ve never been a big fan of the basecup hole so I’m probably going to pick up an Iji mod haha.
i'm interested to see if i'll be able to tell about a 1% difference in size, it doesn't sound like a lot. then again, i do think that the pop ken is a bit too small and skinnier than most kens. perhaps the 1% increase will even it out
