Since I have sold a lot of saws it's great that I can bat with "either hand", but I'm more comfortable doing things the right way . Where's @farmer steve dang lefties .Me, I bat with the other hand- I will sell orange saws with angled wraps in order to secure a superior wrapped red and black saw!
That makes a lot of sense for the racing. I don't mind a strait handlebar for bucking at all, but falling and limbing, I prefer the angle, and I'm glad stihl has started getting it right .I like the strait handelbar, especially when racing.
I used to be able to recommend the jreds to the stihl guys who wanted to try a husky, but were more used to the strait handlebar, with jred out of the game that has changed if they want a newer saw .
