Ok bouncy peeps, been looking at 7 leagues (for me,still getting pjs 4 my lil' boy) but weight bands seem diff, i got mysf weighd prop 2day +am 10stone,my scales hf a stone under, so do i go 4 t rex's, raptors? Yikes?! H-E-L-P!!!

Its a toughie.
If you had used them before I would have said T-rex's straight away but as you are learning I'm not sure if raptors would be better to learn on.
If you want a pair that will last you i'd go for t-rex's, they may take a little longer to learn on and compress but they will last you much longer without bottoming out all the time.
Then again, Raptors are nice and bouncy, lol
I'm 64kg and bottom out my raptors constantly and am going to be swapping them for some t-rex's soon.

For your weight band raptors should yeild optimal performance,but much depends on your technique.I'm still waiting for my new PJs to arrive,should be here tomorrow! went for M80's as Pro Jump recommend going 10 kilos above your weight ,and being as raptors are made for peeps between 8 and 11 stone I'd say they'd be ideal for you. Been waiting a week for my stilts so been doing a lot of reading! I may well stand corrected..... :thumbs:

I'm going to say T Rex's, but you really are right on the borderline.
I'm the same weight and when I forst got 7's I went for raptors but then I was using them 3 times a week and always puching myself and I wanted to be able to keep pushing myself and not have things limited by a spring that was too stiff for me. Now a year later I have T rex's and can bottom them out, though not frequently enough for it to be a problem.

Made 2 calls already.Wrote 2 e-mails already....Phone call on Friday I was told they're on their way.... E-mail from Viv says they'd be sent out today (Monday 16th)....So, I'm a bounce free zone for now. >:( >:( >:( :banghead: Placed my order last Tuesday and due to one thing or another I'm still waiting. Was my day off today as well and the weather's been great all weekend to boot. But thanks for your concern all the same.
