Default Best boards?

Hey guys, kinda new to this... been reading alot and trying to figure a little bit out about the game. But i did have one question, i was looking to get my board, and i saw a thread on beginner boards, but i would rather just buy the best board i can get. So my question is what do you guys suggest? Thanks alot for your input, really appreciate it guys.

Where are you located ?
There are guys in our league that have RR's board, Watts boards and a couple of 513 boards. We are located in central Ohio. You cannot go wrong with any of the one's I listed. I know there are other board makers out there, I just have no first hand experience with them.
I have my own personal preference , but my board suits my playing style.
If you have the chance the best thing I could recommend is to get a look at the custom boards in person , maybe even play on them for alittle bit and see which one you like the best. I will never go back to a stock size board, the bigger the better.

Default RR is Reggie Rutledge

There is no bad custom made boards. All have their own niche. MegaWatts hand paints his fields, while most others are field covers. I'm sure you will be getting a PM, or you should try to PM some of the board makers. To see Reg's work, do a post search, type in Click Clack!

Jeff said it best, you have to get on the board, and see how your team runs on them.

Diamond boards are great. They are very nicely made. A little heavier than the others.

Reg's boards are as sturdy as they come. Great running motor. Light weight, and very easy for travel.

Bruce's board are hand painted. You can't beat something hand painted. His is also light and easy to transport

You also have Mr. Porsche out in the west coast. The best eye candy of the bunch. His cost a lil more than the others. Monster Boards are the name.

I have a bruce, diamond, RR, and I made 2 custom boards myself. I love all of them. It's like picking which of your kids do you like more!?!?!

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

And if I left out any board makers, I apologize.

Nat'l
