If you get the right weight ... yes !?
You can modify your old post ??

sprog · « **Reply #3 on:** July 06, 2008, 02:33:53 PM »

With your level of skill, yes, provided you get the right weight range.
Just because they are £135 doesn't mean they are "less springy" than other brands.

System · « **Reply #4 on:** July 06, 2008, 03:21:47 PM »

ok thanks, i just weighed myself lol and i weigh 64.5 kg
what weight range do you suggest? 70 kg or 80 kg?
cheers.l

Id say go for the 80s's, but with your gymnastics background I think 90's would be better in the long run.

sprog · « **Reply #6 on:** July 06, 2008, 04:51:17 PM »

Agreed with Naz (Webmaster), with your background M90s would suit you best. Will take a while to get used to them and break into them, but once you've done that you'll be flying

Athoul · « **Reply #7 on:** July 06, 2008, 05:55:43 PM »

Also where abouts are you from, there may be people or a group local to you?

System · « **Reply #8 on:** July 06, 2008, 06:01:51 PM »

thanks everyone for your comments, i think i will get the 80's because i can grow into them and get someone heavier like my mate to break them in for me.

And one last question, the brand powerisers have the new 2008 stilts out and the are £200 are they actually worth the extra 65 quid? what do you get out of them that is better than these pro jumpers?

cheers.

Improved bindings and calf cuffs, that's about it, the spring performance is very similar.
Some people love the cuffs, others hate them. I use cuffs with my 7's and could never go back to kneebars now

I think the Pro-Jump spring performance is better than the current poweriSer spring

ok thanks dude

Yeah but you're gonna say that aren't ya?

System · « **Reply #13 on:** July 06, 2008, 07:13:30 PM »

lol yeh he kinda has to say that lol

seriously though what do people think, calf cuffs or knee bar, and powerises for springyness or pro-jumps for springyness?

pleaase srious answers only, no bias stuff lol

Athoul · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2008, 07:43:22 PM »

7leagues all the way

Sprog knows I won't make claims unless I have it on good authority

(I hope!)

Joking aside...

The cuff is a personal perference, I know the majority who have tried this prefer them to the knee bars, I've only heard of a couple of people who have tried it and disliked it.

The spring on the Pro-Jump is much more responsive than that on the poweriSer, the current poweriSer spring is said to be far too stiff and doesn't retain the energy as well as the current Pro-Jump Springs.

I havn't tried out the projump springs recently but i tried out some powerisers when i was up visiting the WB's in Cardiff and hated them. You had to put sooooo much effort in and didnt get that much return.

System · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2008, 08:12:18 PM »

see thats the problem i want a pair of stilts that have a calf strap and that are really springy and responsive..

basically a mix of powerises and pro jumps, can anyone find me a pair like this lol?

cheers.

webmaster · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2008, 08:14:55 PM »

At the moment the cuffs are not sold separately so you would have to buy the poweriSer to get the cuffs.

Then you could either buy Pro-Jump springs @ £75 for a pair or 7 springs which I think are about £130 a pair or powerskip springs which would be about £250 for the pair!

Not at the moment, no, sorry. PoweriSer distributors in the UK won't sell the cuffs as a spare part and mainland Europe distributors won't ship to the UK because of "Patent laws". I had to go the backdoor route and have someone in Austria buy me some and then ship them onto me, but it was a one-off offer in March last year.

System · « **Reply #20 on:** July 06, 2008, 08:34:28 PM »

right i have made a decision, im going to either get the 7's t-rex ones (70-90kg) or the powerises (70-90kg)

Which one do you think is better if money wasnt an issue? Theres on £40 between them anyway?

much appreicated.

edit: Things to keep in mind

most springy = 7's or powerises?
longest lasting = 7's or powerises?
most comfortable = 7's or powerises

and anythign else you think i should include those are th eonly 3 i could think of lol?

help please.

sprog · « **Reply #21 on:** July 06, 2008, 08:35:55 PM »

7's springs are better (better bounce back and energy return) and you can get the PoweriSer bindings on them for about £15 extra, just no cuffs. The 7's hooves also last longer, and they have a nicer centre of balance (IMO)

Athoul · « **Reply #22 on:** July 06, 2008, 08:38:06 PM »

7's for sure.

Powerisers as well as a poor spring have had frame issues latley aswell

Spud · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2008, 09:06:35 AM »

Wouldnt go for powerisers. But yes to either 7's or projumps. If you are going to get any with your background I would say get 90's not 80's.

Jason · « **Reply #24 on:** July 07, 2008, 09:51:52 PM »

I lent a few people a set of PJ's with my homemade cuffs yesterday at the gym meet and I think everyone who tried prefered them and that was about 6 people so I would say cuffs all the way
