In reply to mike kann:
Yes Mike, that is right. Grivel have changed colour from gold/orange to black on this years models.
The Masters are designed for ice. The Force are designed for dry / mixed.
Differences are:
Picks:
- The Master has 3mm B rated picks*.
- The Force has 5mm T rated picks, pick angle is also more agressive and mixed / dry specific.
* This years version of the master comes with a spacer which means you can fit the 5mm picks without having to machine out the head.
Handle:
Handle on the Force is slightly more pushed back, again more agressive for mixed / dry.
