W&W Infinite riser: is it good?

[Rafa]

Hi everyone.

Finally I'm about to drop my "for-really-early-practicing" wooden bow,
and after renouncing to the PSE Zone for being discontinued and Yamaha
for disappearing, I've come to the W&W Infinite riser.

How it compares against the PSE Zone? It's newer, but much better? Has
anyone tried it?

Thanks,

Rafa.

PSE has some newer risers, X-Factor being the latest.

Itrepid was the previous model.

What is better? Infinite has integrated grip, you either like it or not.

Do not order one of these risers unless you try it. The grip is part of the
riser. While you can probably take a file to the carbon fiber in the grip, most
people won't do this. The resale value will plummet.

It's one of those things, you will either love the grip, or you will hate it.

It might make sense to try and get two Zone risers. Personally, I really liked
the Zone riser. I should have kept mine.

Nope, I wouldn't do this. As I said the resale value would plummet, and the
structural integrity of the graphite might be compromised (I actually doubt
this, but it sounds impressive).

I have taken a file to the wooden and plastic grips on metal riser bows and my
Hoyt Pro Medalist (my mother still has this at home) had it's grip reshaped. I
also did file the metal handle of the Wing take down with the magnesium handle
(don't remember what it was called).

These days I would go with a Loesch grip if I didn't like the standard grip.
He's got the grip shape figured out.

In any case I won't be doing this since I'm not going to be getting an Infinite
in the forseeable future. These things are still pricey, and I really don't like
the grip.
