Topmodel worked hard to improve the quality. The result is perfect !

So I hope Skip to import few Topmodel product ! You can ask him.


Terry, my answer at your private message :
Yes, the weight is same of the mercury. My Viking weighs 110gr. The Viking on the website weighs 137gr without any lightening. So it's your equipments which do the difference.

Hi Xpress, Geladipac is a similar product to depron, only it 20% lighter and a lot less brittle than depron.
Models like the Clik, Mercury and Donatas's SUltimate and Deluxe are constructed using Geladipac. All around better than Depron. This is my view.
