Perfect swing/whip balance and good weight which is obvious. Carbon shaft is fancy and warm but feels pretty fragile so some kind of a grip tape wrapping is needed imho. The pick slot is robust (two large size hex nuts) and the change procedure is straightforward, but the picks assortiment from the diff manufacturers is not as wide as for more popular Petzl tools, the original Grivel parts are pricey and are not very often found on-sale also.
