Got outdoors with the AJ max and agree about how well the AJ max has performed. Easily could have continued to play it and been perfectly happy. Just so lucky that I have the opportunity to replace it.I put it up against the Max in the sim and compared it also to what I remember of last year. The Aerojet Max is crazy forgiving toe side. Like stupidly so. The DS X, at least with the weight back has improved heel side significantly. And I'd dare say, sounds better in addition to being faster.
If not for being a geardo and the Morgan Cup, I would've happily gamed the AJ Max. The AJ was an improvement for me over the standard LTDx
As said a few times on this, there are deals to be had on the Aerojet if you are looking to save a few bucks but still want something nearly new.
