I concur. I bought a knock off of the Ocularis slingshot and the feelings of the original where different. Knock off just makes you want to put it back down and pick up something else.

I bought a cheap one to compare the 2 and I found the cheap one had a sharp line around it from the 2 half's of the mould that I had to sand off. The clips that came with it are still good though.

Same here. Got my Scout knock-off yesterday, much easier to buy that version here in Asia than the original. And yes, first check of the frame revealed those sharp lines from the mould as well. Positive about the plastic material: Using sandpaper worked pretty well. I am otherwise used to those little metal slingshots Made in China, and they always need a mini grinder to effectively get the sharp edges and corners out right after unboxing (not that any of them ever got here in an actual box, though) ;-) Otherwise like the general shape of thze frame, so thinking abut getting an original Scout on my next home leave to Europe now.

One thing to add, and this is gonna sound like I am slanted towards SimpleShot, but the design also of the thicker clips could be intentional. It does add a level of weight to the tip of the frame acting as a stabilizer.

While HDPE does not provide the same level of impact resistance as polycarbonate, its durable build will support a formidable amount of weight and has the integrity to outlast many other kinds of plastic. ... Like polycarbonate, it is extremely resistant to acids, alcohols, and bases. To make this comparison legit you would have to use the HDPE model vigorously to see at what point after how many usages this model begins to break. Great video , need more of these to inform us enthusiast what knock off companies to stay away from, not to say there aren't companies out there that are no good, there are companies that are pretty good and for the price it's probably worth saving $$$$$$.

The knockoff has fiberglass in the material to increase its integrity. Which makes it (GF-HDPE) Glass Filled High Density Poly Ethelene. If you have to trim the flash around the edges like i did, you can hear the knife cutting through the glass fibers.

More superior is grammatical incorrect, though not as important as the review. I own both. Other than the handle (which you could put a little grip tape on the knockoff they are dimensionally the same). As fat as durability as long as you are not shooting the knockoff with a gun you are not going to have to worry about it breaking. It also cost $10.00 from Amazon Prime delivered. With the $35.00 you save you could buy a roll of band, a rotary cutter, some pouches and not have to worry about either for a long time. Now ethics, buying a knockoff and not supporting the original designer is a whole other topic. So for someone just wanting to try out the sport if they buy the knockoff and like it buying the xt would be appropriate. J
