Does anyone know if there's a difference between the various R7 decks? I ask because Globe R7 blank ("Goodstock") decks are $35 with grip on Skate Warehouse, and if that's basically the same deck as an Enjoi or Almost, then I don't see why I wouldn't just start skating these exclusively.
The Globe decks I have seen have been all natural ply, which often indicates lesser quality overall - pricepoint deck compared to a pro deck, but might still have the same construction method as the other boards, hence the R7, which is 7 layers of ply with resin used.
Without trying to read too much into it, simply give one a try and see if you notice any difference, then if you like it, you can save yourself some marketing and branding dollars, compared to pro wood, which has a company brand / guy's name on it, pretty colours in the ply, might last longer for some people than others, etc.
