Three naming traps

  • "Standard" usually means widebody. Spartus P1 Standard, HEAD Radical PRO EX15 Standard and Honolulu's Aero Standard Square (J3) are the wide-face option in each line.
  • "Flash" is not always a hybrid. The Vatic V-Sol Tour Flash and V-SOL Pro Flash are hybrids, the V-SOL Power Flash is elongated. See which Vatic Pro to buy.
  • Same name, different approval. Shape names carry across builds, approval does not. The Honolulu J6CR is USAP approved, the J6CR Crystal Blue is UPA-A. See USAP vs UPA-A explained.

Codes by brand

PRH works at most partner brands. The exceptions: Ronbus uses RCPRH ($20 off), HEAD uses PRH15 (15% off), and Proton and Six Zero use PRH10 (10% off). All are permanent partner codes. Full list on our deals page.
