How do you rate the build quality ?
I originally went from Univ's to Everest Pro's, and the leap was amazing. The W&W's were smoother, and a lot more forgiving. Sadly they delaminated on me, so when I took them back to the retailer the only limbs they had in my size/weight were either Extremes or G3's. I shot about 3-4 dozen back to back with both the Samicks and the Hoyts, and the Extremes were a lot nicer by far (in my opinion). The G3's felt soft and spongy, whereas the Extremes were a lot faster and punchier. The build quality of both were lovely, but the pearlescent white finish of the Extremes is just gorgeous. Unfortunately Samick have now taken to putting a logo into the top limb, which is under the laqcuer so it cannot be removed, and it says "Unleash your possibility".... I suspect they were looking for the word "potential", so it looks a bit naff. Other than that, I cant fault them.

But as limbs they are totally and utterly beautiful, in all respects!
