Hi Everyone!
Anyone who’s tried a Rath R4 do you usually prefer the standard narrow or a wide handslide?
Just looking for anyone else’s experience! It’s hard to find Rath parts this side of the Rockies.

Re: Rath R4 Narrow or Wide Handslide
I just recently tried a wide slide that a friend received. Much prefer the narrower myself for my R4F.

Can verify the narrow hand slide was a better fit

Glad you’re digging it!
I’m finding the wide slide to be very comfortable for me but a little bit of that sparkle is gone. I might look into trading later but it’s doing the trick right now!

Re: Rath R4 Narrow or Wide Handslide
I’ve always been a wide slide person but Rath’s narrow slides are better than their wide ones.
