With this flooring, we have been able to remedy the weaknesses and defects of the first batch produced, which we market as a 1b version of leviathan.

The built-in voltage was reduced and the fluctuations in grip were minimized. The Leviathan 1a is therefore on average noticeably more grippy than the 1b version. Thus, the stickiness of the bump heads is, as originally also intended, constant at the level of the thorn gloss. Due to the higher grip and the lower voltage, the Leviathan has also become minimally slower, so that we now specify the tempo only with "4".

The durability has also been improved, it is now slightly above the durability of the thorn gloss and is still not very good overall, but at least to be rated as average.

However, the Leviathan is really only available in ox black. Unfortunately, it is not possible to produce this covering in red without any quality problems.

Less savvy players will find little difference between Leviathan 1b, Thorn Gloss and Leviathan. Also visually, all 3 coverings look almost the same. This should also be the case, because all pads are based on the same rubber compound, use an almost identical shape of the bumps and have the same shiny bump heads.
It has long been customary for pimples to offer several versions of the bestsellers, e.g. with different sponges. We are now transferring this principle to an ox covering in a slightly different form.

Like the thorn gloss, the Leviathan is extremely strong in block play, but slightly easier to control. It is also a bit more elastic and overall variable to play. The advantage over other controlled long bumps such as the lightning strike, however, is simply the fact that the unmistakable playing feeling of the thorn gloss is preserved in addition to the higher interference effect. This means: The Leviathan is meant to play at the table, it can be played without using the wrist and it is even playable with ABS plastic balls.

Some powerful players may eventually prefer the thorn gloss. The Leviathan should be the best choice overall, especially for the players, who find the thorn gloss too uncontrolled in some game situations, but in the previous alternatives Blitzschlag, Agenda etc. miss the extreme strength of the thorn gloss in block play.

Another essential strength of Leviathan is the universal combinability with any kind of wood. The Leviathan is quite dominant and neutralizes to a certain extent a harder or softer ball stop on the wood.

All in all, the Leviathan has now become a more elastic, less idiosyncratic version of the thorn gloss optimized for plastic balls. This flooring should be cleaned with a flooring cleaner like pimples inside.

Important ways:
Of course, the sale of the SpinLord Leviathan as a 1b version continues as long as the still very large stock lasts !
At the moment both versions also have an identical covering and of course both pads also look identical. On the floor cover there are therefore still values and texts that are no longer quite true.

Excellent resource for anyone hiking the PCT
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my brother who will be hiking the PCT for a second time this summer. He has read many books on the PCT and he said this book is an excellent resource for anyone thinking about or hiking, planning to return to, the PCT. Very easy to follow and everything you need to know as you plan your hike.

Has me feeling prepared
Format: Paperback
Gearing up to hike the first section of the PCT. I got this book, my hiking buddy got a different book that covers the entire trail. While talking about our hiking plans he often says “my book didn’t mention that.” It’s clear this book is more detailed and up to date. I’m feeling very prepared and in the know about what to expect on the PCT.

The Best of the Modern Guides to the PCT.
Format: Paperback
This book is not an update of the Wilderness Press classics on which the trail was discovered and hiked by a couple generations from the 1970s to around 2010. It does however owe those books a heavy and unacknowledged debt. This is most notable in lettering sections which the author of this guide, Shawnte Salabert, attributes to the PCTA but in fact come from scarified, Schaffer, et all who wrote the original guides to California, Oregon, and Washington. Even the definition of sweat constitutes the Southern California trail, comes from those guides. (It starts at the Mexican Border near Campo California and ends in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite.). But alas, those books are long out of print, in part because today’s hikers prefer light weight apps with minimal trail information as opposed to detailed descriptions of the physical geography and varied ecosystems of the trail. I’m not sure the lost knowledge has equaled the reduced weight but I’m a bit old school. And this book is as much a throwback to that kind of writing as it is a nod to recent demands of the hiking community. It does cover every mile of the route, suggest campsites along the way, and as much as possible provide an option for day and section hikes along the trail for just about anyone. The author provides good car descriptions to major trailheads for each section hike he recommends as well as available entry and exit options along the way. The writing is entertaining and the author has his own sense of humor that will become readily apparent as you read the text. Based on my experiences (and I’ve hiked 95% of the trail he describes at least once; sometimes multiple times) his mileage descriptions are accurate and you will easily be able to recognize the places he describes along the way. The book also features nice color photos and it’s availability in digital form will certainly please the gram counting hiker set. On the other hand, I miss seeing elevations along with miles at each major trail intersection, pass etc. Salabert does give total elevation gain and loss for each section of trail he describes but sometimes it’s nice to know just how much of a climb to expect. Ultimately, this book fulfills it’s purpose. You should want to hike the PCT after reading a few pages if you hadn’t already when you purchased the book. And if you are like many people with only a weekend or a few days to spare hiking the trail, this book will make planning short sections easier. It offers a lot. But it reminds me of an era when guidebooks offered even more.

Superb Guide in All Respects
Format: Paperback
An invaluable reference for anybody interested in section hiking the trail. I especially appreciate the coverage of water and campsites. It’s also a fun and beautiful read for any armchair adventurer. Salabert did an amazing job bringing together well-written text, data, maps, and beautiful photos to create a comprehensive guidebook. Deserves to do very well.
