Boards Bounce Too Much? Choose a Sturdier Build

- Name
- ACL Pro Tommy Sliker
Summary: Bounce usually means light decks and weak bracing. Upgrade to heavier, well‑braced boards.
Spec checklist
- 3/4‑inch Baltic birch deck
- Cross‑braced under the top (and bottom if possible)
- Approx. 40–45 lb per board
- Stable frame joinery and flush hardware
Buying tips
- Ask local directors what they use—match event specs when you can.
- Look for reputable builders with pro‑level sets.

Final word
Build quality beats graphics. Heavier, braced boards calm bounce and sound better too.
