Review > Black Swan Holds > Mini Volume




SUGGESTED USES MINI VOLUME:







Form or function; both is what you need and this guy is really hits the marks on both. You can stick this guy wherever you pretty well want, if you actually bolt holds into the two holes that are provided is upto you, the little rail feature is big enough for you to be able to haul across a roof without too much trouble. We're not going to pass full judgement on this guy as we're still putting it through it's paces.

OVERALL BUILD MINI VOLUME:

  • Number of holds: 1
  • Type (Bolt / Screw Ons): Bolt
  • Price per hold (set price divided by number of holds): $30
  • Color: Black
  • Bolt placement: Centered, seems a little drunk
  • Sanding: Good
  • Hollow backed: Yes
  • Soft back (Rubber backed): No
  • Texture: Very crystalline
  • Set size: Large
  • Versatility: Good
  • Pre-drilled screw holes: No
  • Shaper: Dalton
  • Weight:
Now we like some innovation, this volume in urethane is pretty refreshing despite the fact that it's almost the same size (and price) as a Motivation "Willy" it's the medium of what it's built from that's very interesting. The Mini Volume has a very crystalline texture that pretty well negates having to use the nut placements as you can just (on shallow angles) just use the volume without worrying about anything else thats bolted onto it
