Curious too how many are actually the same concave and angle at both kicks, compared to some places just saying both kicks are the same but the decks are still made on the same molds which have different nose and tail angles.
Can't remember where but a couple of people said their twin tails were not the same.
I know from having the Ishod boards, they were, as I guess the Neen boards too, otherwise something would have been said about them by now.
There's been one count (?) of an ishod TT not being a TT and the SC VX McCoy (white one) that's not marketed as a TT (but has been mentioned by SC reps that it is symmetrical as far as kick steepness/degrees of kick) isn't; there is a kick that is longer and you can see it shaped differently once you grip and are staring down at the shape = one is clearly a nose and one a tail and you can easily pick it out every time.
The Neen board I'm on feels true, I can't feel or see a difference at all. That DW 8.25 is the best TT for me so far and the only negs I could throw out is that it could be just a hair longer and steeper.
Yeah I think that one Real was printed on the wrong shape, same as per a Mason graphic on a twin if I recall, as has happened a bit during the rush post shutdowns, as per a couple of other decks I have had in recent months too (not TT though).
I recall one normal board from a long time ago where the deck must have been cut the other way round, which felt so weird to skate and was definitely different to the others with the same graphic from the same lot. Passed it on to someone else pretty quickly, but from that it was curious that it would make such a difference, so for some people who have cut the nose down, or changed the shape, it would still have a definite nose concave and a tail concave.
Different presses for the twins is a must though, as well as making sure the bolt holes are centered.
