My SM7’s were definitely overdue for replacement as they have done four years service at c. 40 rounds a year.

I have been watching the price of SM9’s drop as the SM10 approaches- I was debating on waiting for the 10’s and reading the reviews to see if they are worth the wait. However, I decided the price differential doesn’t look like it would justify the wait as optically the 10’s clearly demonstrate some evolution rather than a more radical shift. I was also worried that as soon as the 10’s launch, I’d lose the ability to get the custom options in the SM9’s to mirror my current SM7’s. My new ones arrived today - I will also be getting a barely used 60 degree too from a playing partner. I am very much looking forward to using them and seeing how much extra spin I will now get.

I just wondered whether other TT members have done the same or are just waiting to buy the “latest and greatest”?
