zenith comfort back tension release

I have just started shooting compound and I am currently using a truball wrist release.

I am interested in trying a back tension release without risking too much money in case I don't get on with it. I have found a website in USA http://www.zenitharchery.com/x_cel.htm that sell very reasonably priced releases that look to be nicely engineered. They also sell a CD Rom on how to use them. I can't seam to find any shops in the UK that stock them.

Has anyone tried them? How difficult are they to use? and how likely am I to end up with a broken jaw ?

I'm also curious about them, but have not tried one yet. There is a thread over on an Australian archery forum that you might be interested in:

Hope it's ok to link to other forums....

For the few months that I had a compound, I used a Zenith. They are very simple releases and work brilliantly! Nothing complex about them. Easy to use and give a guaranteed surprise release every time!

One thing about the Zenith Comforts is that the way they angle the handle curves helps a lot in making for a smoother pull.

The flip-it heads work well, and feel quite crisp when they fire. I've yet to read negative reports from archers in the US using them.
