geo and the cold

[Maddogwhitey]

right, ive shot ego markers since the 05 came out and found them to be excellent markers in all conditions ive played from indoor, to outdoor, to boston, to the south coast to the barren wastes of inverness ive played xball, single match, rec etc in rain snow shine and hail.

now, in comparison ive seen spoolies gum and cease to work up in shale/sand and when it gets cold where as for the most part dual stacks, eg egos, borgs , spyders etc have survived,

so my question, will the geo work as well in harsh conditions as the ego/etek series of markers, will there be any descernable difference in performance, particulary in the cold and damp of scotlandland or is it purley down to preference.

im not quite sure anyone could know the answer to this question. sometimes its down to the lube u use on certain types of spoolies and or a mild change in you dwell settings.

no doubt the marker will have been tested to distruction but you never know

in theory the reason dm's stick has been overcome in the geo, and for once i believe it. Suffice to say i have a very similar spool/poppet setup in a marker i made last year which works well in extremely cold weather.

cheers guys, Thanks for the answers, i would like to hear an answer from planet themselves though..for no other reason than my curiosity, i have an 08 and like my 05 i will stick with that until it dies...but i like the idea of a back up

Planet are hardly gonna say "yeah its shizzle in the cold...dont buy it" are they now?

for more than 1 reason of course

You're right, but I believe that they are honest enough to say, "we havent tested it in extreme cold", or "there is a slight drop in performance under 0degrees C" (for us Scottish players)

Judging by the extremely good reputation of P.E, I would believe them if they said, "no Problem"

Also, if Tom Allen believes the issue has been overcome, then thats good enough for me

I too am still undecided though....P.E will get my money, but I'm not sure which I want for it....

 

[Andy Steele]

im pritty sure it will have been tested in minus conditions

 

[rst steve]

Flash has been testing Geos in temps down to -25 and all reports are good but i am sure he will come on here at some point and let you guys know the results.

 

[Lovetone]

rst steve, without giving any secrets away
is eclipse grease rebranded dow 33 or something else? or a modified dow?

just interested.

 

[Maddogwhitey]

-25..that tears the arse out of it, look if planet says it will work fine, i shall take their word.

cheers
