Actually, it kind of bugs me that all of these 'new product' posts/discussions are on the main board.  Shouldn't they be in the Buy/Sell/Trade board?

why would they be?  They aren't buying, selling, or trading anything.  They are announcing (and arguing) about products.

Facts are facts.  The information I have conveyed on the topic thus far comes from 6 months if intensive research on spinners and the games they are used with.  If technical fact places anothers product into question, then so be it.  Tell me, if you produced something that was designed to not have a shortfall known to exist with competing/existing  products, how might you extol this virtue?  Are you meaning to tell me that merely talking about technical advantage or misplaced notions in a marketplace is tantamount to directly attacking a competitor?

Your anti-RandyT bias is showing again, Steve.

Would somebody who owns both please take a picture of these two units side by side and put this to bed.  I don't own, nor have I ever seen the competing spinner product in the flesh , or I would do so myself.  But based on the photo, they are so different in design, both functional and otherwise,  that this assertion is beyond ludicrous.  It also improperly credits my hard work to another individual who is undeserving of that credit.


--- Quote ---So far, anyone thats decided to try fill a gap in a product line...  invests time, money,   and energy into it... and after its released,   Randy decides to come in and wipe them out... with nearly the same design.

Please provide an example of this and the people I have "wiped out" with my "mad skillz"  :)  It's not nice to make assertions like this without providing an example.  And since you said "so far", there must have been more than one example by now.

Also, if you would be so kind, please start a new "RandyT bashing thread" on the board somewhere so I can defend myself without having to do it in this one.

Thanks,
RandyT

Here's some photos from SlikStik's website and the Turbo-Twist thread.  There are some definite similarities - footprint, dual bearing design, overall bracket shape, flywheel style, but also some significant differences.  I don't think calling it a copy or a rip-off is fair, but others can form their own opinions:


vader:

Competition is great for all of us end users.  This thread has really soured my opinions of both companies.  I admit I was going to make a purchase from SS based solely on the fact that there was nothing else available in the marketplace.  Now that GGG released something viable I was inclined to take a hard look at the pro/ cons of each.  I have no problem with either vendor advertising the benefits of their products vs. others in the industry, but to go about it
in childish and attacking each other either personally or corparately is uncalled for.  You both
have great products and should be proud of that and just let the end users make their own educated decisions.  I personally challenge both of you do not respond anymore to this thread and just let it die.  The numbers of products either of you sell speak for themselves.

Best Wishes

Tim
