£311 for 16 medium size holds!!!!!!!!!!!!

can someone explain why the UK hold market looks so so different to the US?

Is Trump subsidising PU?

Is this article aimed at routesetters who don't care about budgets? I'm honestly very confused. The only thing I know for sure is whats gonna be in my luggage after my next trip to the US.

Hi Dave

Website prices are retail prices, walls and setters usually get significant discounts based on the volume of the order.

Yes, the latest PUs are twice the price of of the older PE hold technology.  In fact we actually send orders to the US so it all depends on what you are looking for really.  You can buy cheaper versions of PU here in the UK too, again for close to half the price of ours. 

The PU we use is Dannomond, tested in the at the busiest centre in the country, The Castle and between our brand and other major european hold brands are exporting a significant amount to the US.

We are pretty certain that you would struggle to clear customs with all the holds needed to open a commercial gym in your luggage.
