Anyone have any experience with these?

I used them last season with no real issues but I can't say they were any better than the maxima blue streaks the year before yet they cost a little more. CE claims that they manage "dynamic spine" so well that there is only the need for 2 spine selections to cover a pretty broad range of DW and length.
 
Personally I think they are a gimmick, I've personally never shot them but have friends that jumped on the bandwagon and were not impressed, one guy is goin back to maxima hunters and the other is going to gold tip. I've shot CX mayham, piledriver and maxima before and in my opinion they are over priced.
 
I was considering them after talking to a guy who was using them but then the price and a common theme of them being fragile scare me off. FWIW, he said he liked them and they worked well. I'm probably going to get some GT Kinetic XT's instead.
 
That's kinda where I'm at with them, they're OK but nothing to write home about. I guess for the price I just expected more. They aren't a bad arrow and I may stick with them. I haven't noticed them being any more fragile than any other arrows I've used, they all seem to break when shot at objects harder than they are:)
 
I just bought 6 new maxima reds. Best groups I have ever shot. BH shoots the same as FT. Definite improvement over my Easton Axis. I also tried the maxima hunters. They fly almost as good. Interestingly my Red groups are tighter than the hunter groups. The hunters pull out of targets much easier though.
