Give me a name!

Just off the lathe, original working name was the Whitewall. Somehow that name just doesn’t do it. We would love to hear your suggestions for a name.

We went a little bigger on this one, and a little heavier based on local player input.

Slight H-style stepped profile with some additional trim features to give this a unique look, and allows for lots of rim weight. A notable undercut on the inner aspect of the rim allows for easy grinds.

Here’s the specs:

Diameter: 2.1in or 53.3mm
Width: 1.6in or 40.6mm
Weight: 68g
String gap: 4.5mm
Bearing size: Large (.500x.250x.1875)
Response: Large size narrow silicone pad (or flowable silicone)

While you’re at it, drop up some input on the colors in this post too.

Thanks!

Update: March 17 > Comments are now closed. We’ll take today to list all the names and come to a final decision later today or tomorrow. Then the first small batch goes to get laser engraved this Friday.
