I will say that I have never played a better sounding or feeling bar than a BJS bar. There are many good ones out there I am sure, but none BETTER. IMHO.

There's not a better bar than a B.J.S. and not a better person to deal with than Bill Stroud.

Thanks for all your help. How about the bullseye bar and what does the coating do? and is it sticky?

The Bullseye is not sticky. The coating is a friction reduction treatment for oilfield parts, from what I was told by the bullseye folks. Someone on here a while ago said it was TDC (Thin Dense Chromium). It is a chrome coating, but it is applied differently which I understood to make it a tougher and slipperier surface.

I don't have one myself, but I've played one and it seemed good... BJSs are well made, I've got two of them... I don't think you'll have a complaint with either of those.

To be very specific ... Gullite...

I have a Bullseye and had several other bars done with TDC years ago .... superior quality and performance.
