It's curved in the opposite direction to a normal bow. It has synthetic hair. It is very light, and has no screw on the frog so it's always at full tension. Almost as interesting was the packaging: It came in a pvc pipe with tissue paper and gaffa tape at the ends. Was wrapped in a plastic bag and a sheet of black satin tied with gold string. Along with the bow came a red plastic rose (if you look closely you can see the plastic dew drops too)
It's very different to use. The jury is still out as to whether it's better or not than a more conventional bow, but early impressions are good.

Very cool.
But, wouldn't the fact that it's always at full tension create problems? Isn't the whole point of having the ability to release the tension so that it's safer to pack and travel with?
lol. The packaging is awesome.
Right down to the dew drops. haha.
With wooden bows, the stick will warp and lose it's springyness if it's left tensioned. Because this is carbon fibre, it's not a problem. The great thing about being permanently tensioned is that it's ready to go at any time, for those 3 minute impulse practice sessions.
