Hi guys,
Do you have experience with these? Are they a bit durable?
Looking for a springer setup that isn't too stiff (already have the Solar ones) and these seem to fit the bill. Only can find them online, so that's why I ask.

Not a answer re compressor.
I've got the old Solar Quiver Springers, the type with the outer sheath and inner fibreglass rods. Some years ago I played with different diameter carbon inserts and finally settled on nitinol wire inserts. The Nitinol is relatively cheap and will last forever. It wouldn't surprise me if the modern Solar Ti springers are Nitinol.
I carry several different gauges of the wire to account for varying situations.
I would imagine a lot of modern springers could be adapted too.

I was recommended the nitinol by someone here on the forum after I had a few of the kompressor arms break on me. The Kompressors are ok at their job but not that durable when springing back and hitting a single bankstick!

I have some of the solar quiver outers and have been using carbon inserts, what diameter nitinol have you been using?

I use the matrix ones quite a bit. I've found them durable so far.
From memory I think they are more flexible than the solar ones from years ago.

Thanks for all of your input, guys. I will try if I can re use my Solar springer set and have them tweaked by Keith from Defiant MPS.
