Shocktech. It extends alot farther than the flame, and the flame DF is tacky

'Cause it's tacky. If you're gonna get a flame DF, you may as well get some "Mr T Gold chains" 2 gold rings on each finger, platinum mask, and a cane. It's one thing to be flashy, it's another thing to overdo it and look cheap. I think the flame does that.

Yeah, the shocktech has a clean smooth look. I think the flame is targeted at the pro-wrestling audience! j/k
The Shocktech's very functional too!

i agree with twitch the flames dont work (imo) and isn't it all about sticking that tank as far under the gunas possible

first off i was thinking about that too, cp looked so damn cool but it was like 65 with the adapter at pbgear
i looked everywhere else and found it only about 5$ cheaper
its a new product so i rather not get it yet and went with a kapp cradle and on off asa, yea cost a bit more but thats what i did. reason being that the cradle drops it farther
unlike the DYE drops , they only go like a inch or two which defeats the pourpose.
i went with the cradle because it drops it much farther
so you can tuck tight in the bunkers
anyways , id go with a cradle and asa adapter
the flame is more for looks and the cradle gets the job done for droping it

I too like the look of the flame, but its only like a 2.5 inch drop forward :(, thats nothing, a 20 oz tank is pretty big, the flame would do almost nothing, if you get a shocktech drop forward (just as sleek but in a simpler way):cool: it could drop your tank a noticable 8 inches forward and 2 or so inches down, NOW THATS A DROP FORWARD.:D be a man, get a manly drop forward:eek:. the flame would do nothing for a 20 oz tank, an 8 inch tech could cut it in half. i always think if something is understated its way better ;)

Muck raker uses a cane on the field:eek: and i don't think even he'd get the flame:D

see i have a lx3 drop forward, this is a great idea because it can swivel, but again it only drops the tank about 2-3 inches forward and about 2 inches down.
cradles are may cost equal or a bit more but they are more worth it.
if ya have the $ and want more looks go for the flame...
