    Soft DD poll

    I recently ran one of my artists Dragonfly's and could not believe how fucking amazingly soft and smooth it was.... with no give.. colored like a mad man... customer felt no pain..

    Is there a DD that is very soft and smooth?

    Dragonflys have always give .... you can adjust it hard with only a little bit of give ,but not without give. YOu have always a small amount with this machine. You can get the same effect with a gen8 too or a Stigma prodigy ..

    I think any swashplate style machine hurts less and feels smoother

    You mean swash drive.. like a v3? or Gen 8?

    What i am looking for is a DD that hits smooth and soft based on its design... soft for a direct drive, but obviously still a solid hit... understand"?

    there is no give to a direct drive, except for one I saw that had some funky give thing going on in its excenter. I should mention I think I have seen a Dan Kubin from way back with a spring'ed base that would give a bit. But bogging down a machine is not give. I don't really believe in give, for all i run is DD. They will let you know how deep you are based on feel and every hit will count.

    If I'm not mistaken, a lower watt motor will provide some "give" like features.
    Winds of shit...
