First off, consider why there are no AdvantagePB products on PBR. Also, consider why "Virtue" and "AdvantagePB" are filtered words on PBN. Dodging that filter will get you banned.

As for the board, it's functional. Expensive. The thing that bugs me about it is that every noob with an Ion claims it is the "bestest bord evar." It isn't, and whenever you use one in a serious event, refs will keep a very close eye on you. (AdvantagePB is known for cheater boards ie, speedy2)

When you buy one you are supporting a shoddy company who will do anything to sell a product. They are fine boards, but why support them when you could spend LESS (not much less, but still) and get a board from a respected company who puts out a good product without being sheisters?

It's up to you, but I recommend anything but Virtue unless it's your only option.

I think he had his bps set for lower than 17. I was feeling like I wasn't getting 17 bps too, but once I made sure my bps were all the way up (they weren't) my ROF was able to hit 17bps. I also have a qev and firebolt though.

lucky stage 4 seems to be the hottest one available. i'd deffenitly look into one.  I myself currently shoot a T-board in mine.  When i bough it though there was only the choice of that or Blackheart, now though id definetaly go Lucky.

I think you are able to get the stock board closer to 17, a thing on pbnation talked about it. You adjust the dwell and all that
