zigzag mk3

[StirlingArb]

+1 for Yale Blue tongue, was tempted to get one of the Yale poison ivy calamine/poison ivy tropical but hardly anyone over here supplies the tropical so went with Blue tongue,

 

Had my ZZ for 5 months now, (Christmas present from the GF) no cracks/dents or any damage great piece of kit, just a shame it wasnt made for 14mm max that way 13mm would run smoooth and it would be thicker metal then

 

thinking about using it with a pulley saver as I'm just using it over branches since I hate using cambium savers (yes I get them stuck.. alot)

I just use any rope that fits

Just replaced my mark 2, it cracked after well over a years use. Hopefully the mark 3 has been sorted.

Had my mk3 since November last year. Did not use the mk 1 or 2.

 

Although I probably have not used it as much as most of the guys on here have used theirs, I do weigh about 16st so its probably under more strain than some !

 

No problems so far and I think its very good.

 

Im also running it with bluetongue 11.7

I was 16.5 stone and using ZZ and BT for a couple of years now...thankfully i'm a little lighter these days

i find blue tongue a bit milky/squashy, and doesnt self tend that well. think i may have prefered the 11.7 hedera which as stiffer might have been better

I feel the same, my poison ivy worked much better, I bit disappointed by it really

Turfalburger tachyon for me, better than BT as a bit stiffer so self tends better. Imo.

"Blue Tonge" over rated,by some and just not that good by others. I've been using "Elderid" 12mm power static for a few months now and when I first posted that was using it I didn't get any response what so ever it was blue tongue this and blue tongue that now if anybody wants to listen about using 12mm rope in a zag this is the rope. It's a bit pricey at £150 for 45mtrs but it's fab rope and if you bit O.C.D like me it's a gold colour aswell. Only other rope I would recommend would be"poison ivy" 11.7mm as already mentioned.
