Re: 2019 Naish Torch
Isn't Torch essentially renamed/recolored Naish x4 with 5 struts instead of 7? Keep in mind that x4 is virtually the same as x2. Welcome back to year 2002!

Re: 2019 Naish Torch
What? No. Not even close. First of all, the x4 was very different from x2. Second of all the DNA of Torch came from the Boxer. To then conclude the kite has not developed in the past X years is pretty nuts. I'd say you have trouble identifying them as the same kite if you put the first torch beside a new one. It definitely has moved quite a lot.tegirinenashi wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2019 3:54 amIsn't Torch essentially renamed/recolored Naish x4 with 5 struts instead of 7?

OP sorry I've not tried the 2019. I bet you'd recognize it from last years, but turned and upgraded. The other kites in naish line got a phenomenal upgrade in strut and LE changes and you can definitely feel it.
