Hi Buddy, you got the bar that John really liked, and thanks for using the BJS Bars. Here's hoping everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Your friend,
Bill

What is the difference that makes this bar so good, and maybe better than the standard?
I am serious, does it help tone, does it handle easier or better?
Thanks
Merry Christmas every body!!!!!!!!!!

without a doubt, all the above and then some. you can't go wrong with the BJS Hughey bar. I got one when they first came out and will not settle for less unless Bill comes up with one better .
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Y'all

Jack

Robert, to answer your question. The Hughey BJS 15/16 bar has been drilled out to weigh the same as a 7/8 bar. Therefore, it is lighter than the regular 15/16 bar. Papa John liked the lighter weight.
