I don't like them... I LOVE them hahaha, I think they are great, okay I'm not the best person to ask because I'm 14 and it is my first set of decent cups (all my others were aluminium) but they are brilliant! I probably shouldn't say but I got them really cheap, okay they were seconds and weren't polished but Gary sold them to me for cheaper then what he could have got for them, I was even prepared to pay more, I won't say exactly how much i got them for but I think regular copper firsts are going to go around $300.

Thats awesome I'm happy for you. Im not the best person to ask about cups either, Im 17 and my first set was penguin cups and about three weeks ago I got my Mendozas. I really want Street Devils though.

All good, just one thing is, why mega thick? I haven't held them but I am assuming they will be quite difficult to use, the ones I have now are quite weighty at the moment.

Oh and I should mention my shortlist.
Gazzo cups  Grin
Also a tennis ball cup but I won't be getting either of them for a while anyway haha.

I suppose if I were on the streets whacking a Cup daily with a wand there could be some advantage to a mega thick Cup, however pretty much ever copper or stainless steel Cup that I own is pretty stout and will last through my lifetime. Even the aluminum Cups from reputable spinners are tough.
The most tank like Cups I have are the Celini and TF Phoenix Cups.

Not only that, if you ever need to work on your car they make great jack stands.  Wink

yes they would haha. And I think I would like the heavy feel. I can't see heavy cups having a disadvantage. I don't see how people can say they are harder to perform with. And I lovelovelove the look of the Street Devils. I can honestly say Look online every day to see if anyone is selling their set. I hope he starts making them soon...

I also like cups with a heft to them. It doesn't have to be mega thick but they should have a weight to them.

Quote
1- Van Dokkum standard (stainless steel)
2- Joe Porper (copper)
3- Sherwood smooth (copper)
4- Paul Fox Chick (copper)
5- a set of traditionals, once again in copper

Number 4 is soon to be scraped from the list. Grin

He had on his site 3 - 6 months so I'm guessing in about 5 months you should be able to get some!
