No seriously.

:D

They're awesome. There's lots of references to them in the forums. I have one of the fire top prodigys. Compared to all of the other sticks I have, they feel the most solid and professional. If you like the switch on top, then they're definitely a great, great choice.

I'll be darned, I had no idea Andy had dumped the old model. I wonder if the magnet actually improves anything.

Maybe, maybe not. I've only heard from one person that has used one, and he doesn't like the new Mag version and really likes the old t-sticks. His complaint is that the magnets don't allow the stick to center fast enough.
