[CW] Good time to buy a Chinese key.

[Tim via CW]

Hi,

All I did was to loosen the spring up all the way. I find that the 
tension forces me to be steady and precise. I think I send better with 
the key. .... but yeah they could have used a "softer" spring.

That and the Czech key are my favorites. Quite a bit of difference 
between them.
