Title: What are my options for trying out a Realforce 55g?
Post by: avtar on Sat, 15 February 2014, 18:56:59
I'm curious to see what a Realforce with 55g weighting feels like. Is there any way I can try one somewhere in Toronto?

I have a Variable that has a 55g keys on it.

I also have my short throw that is 55g but the feel is a bit different from normal ones.
