Soma stabs

[Wrexham Exile]

i have noticed quicks are now stocking these - has anyone had any experience with these, or know how they compare to other rods???

was hoping to have a look at these at vegas but there were none about.

Plenty of sponsored archers shooting them... very stiff. Good rod. What more can one say about a stick?

p.s. Perris carry them too

[Good Sir Pete]

soma claim that they're 'revolutionary'

nothing new there then - everything's the best according to whoever's selling it

so what is actually good/new about them?

Are newer stabilizers stiffer or something? I doubt it looking at easton ACE aluminium stabilizers, they are stiffer than a few of the newer carbon rivals knocking about these days, and just as stiff as some of the latest carbon stabilizers out there, but have been around for donkeys years...

My guess is the soma ones will be good, but nothing "better" than what has come before...

yeah you've got a point. could sum up most of archery though i reckon

Got to love it though

for once i completely agree, on both counts.

Vittorio reckons its stiffer than others.
I'm thinking about getting the extender, as i want a 6", and all good recent extenders are all similar prices really. If it is stiffer, its the one i want, as IMO the extender has to be the absolutely-most-mega-stiffest bit of yer stabilisers..

Been using the extender and long rod now for a few weeks, generally very good build quality well finished off etc. As for being something new and revolutionary I doubt it, but at the time they were slightly cheaper than either Win & Win or Easton and still quite rare on the shooting line.
