I have the Sculpture Swing. I also had the Frattini Dyna-Maniflex
replica. At first I preferred the Frattini because it was "traditional"
and tradition always ranked high with me. At that same time, I was able to
borrow the new Begali Swing from Ulrich, N2DE for about six months.
Well...the Swing really started to attract me more and more. For one
thing, it doesn't ( "can't") chatter. It's adjustable well beyond any
other cootie I've had the chance to play around with.
I began to use it more and more. When I couldn't hold out any longer I
sold the Frattini and bought my own Swing. RBN doesn't seem to have any
trouble copying my fist and I haven't received any complaints lately from
anyone else. It's a beautiful work of art with a substantial heft.
It's on a glass-topped operating desk and there's nothing underneath but
the glass. I'm a bug slapper but the Swing refuses to move. In fact, I
managed to break the original contact arm on Ulrich's Swing and Piero sent
a replacement arm of larger diameter. I like to think that was my
contribution to the present sturdy design.
I love the Sculpture Swing and I'm sure my cootie fist has been improved
thanks to its remarkable engineering.
Here's an old Youtube video I made back then.
