I like the fact that people are engineering this stuff out and looking/debunking options, but, um, don't you think others have pioneered this path way before we even thought about questioning it?

I just think it's not this complicated, maybe I'm just not as worried as most?

Try it, if it fails, keep going until something works for you. Done.

(sorry if I'm raining on a parade here, but dang, we are talking about a thread that's gone near 100 posts...)

I think the problem with it is you can still find people who poo poo the hybrid idea. People with some clout at that.

I’m not saying I don’t agree with you, but for someone doing their research, when a google search points you to someone with “cam designer” by their name and they are lambasting the hybrid idea......it’s easy to start to question it. I was just doing it the other day because I’m considering a hybrid setup in my BBC.

In my own head trying to rationalize it all, I’m guessing that your average mild to aggressive hyd roller stick, is likely very similar to a mechanical roller stick designed for a tight lash.
