Fawcett just dropped a tribute review video on the union step ons. Of course he's been an advocate of stepon, so no surprise he likes em.

Of course, he probably hasn't heard how terrible they are from some of the folks here, so, just a babe in the wilderness really.

They use the same naming convention for their hosted PDFs and just swap out the year. So, I opened some of the 24-25 catalogs and replaced "24-25" with "25-26" in the URL and it worked for some of them. Just edited that post to add a few more, too.

Pushing back on this. Directional twin, two variants. Twin shape, directional flex. Directional shape, nose and tail same stiffness i.e. twin flex. Full directional, usually just referred to as simply directional, is directional shape and flex. I think it’s a disservice to call all three of those “directional” as they are pretty different. We gotta describe stuff to differentiate it, how would you like to do that if not with “directional twin”?

it's pretty basic. A twin is identical. If the deck is not identical with a fully centered stance, then it's directional. For a long time though, any deck with the word Twin in its description sold better to the masses.

Companies can learn to do better messaging on decks with minimal taper and set-back, or directional flexes, etc, etc. Instead they are lazy and call it a Directional Twin.

Twin says the nose and tail are the same. Doesn’t necessarily specify in the term “twin” that it is referring to flex or shape. Tis’ the reason the term “true twin” existed/exists. To communicate both flex and shape in to one term. I don’t know you talk about needing better communication about shape and flex, a single 2 word term seems like a dang efficient way to do that. Lazy in the sense that brands never differentiate between twin shape dir flex and dir shape twin flex maybe, but directional twin seems like a perfectly adequate and effective term to me.

Agree to disagree I guess.
