I found this out today. The guy I play with throws giants, and gets pretty good results, but I never gave one a chance because I cant stand bigger rims. I dont have small hands, but big rims just dont feel comfortable in my hands, and I feel like I dont get a good rip. The Giant rim feels much smaller than the 2.3mm, it feels closer to a boatman/renegade in width. I picked up a 170 pink VIP with finnish stamp, partially because it looked awesome, but mainly just because I didnt have a beefy distance driver in the bag. Today it really paid off, as we had sustained winds of 20+ mph with gusts of 30. Escapes were basically useless except in the tailwind. The giant got a lot of use, it laughed when i threw it into a headwind and was exactly what I needed. On the last hole, listed about 500 ft, we had a side wind coming from the right, and I threw the giant on a huge anny distance line, and put it within 60. Easily the longest throw Ive ever made. Will definitely be picking up a TP one to break in and try to make my main distance driver.
