all traction pad vs. arch bar and wax

[skimnj2619]

hey guys im currently riding a slotstik with an arch bar and wax with a stomp pad on the back. i am looking into getting the stripper deck and putting the strips next to my arch bar for better grip because i am curious to see if id like it better. for those of you with that set up id like to hear your reviews of it compared to a wax setup. thanks.

I had it on one of my boards. It was ok I like wax better because it really gets every spot on the board. But it is all personal preference, you might like the strips more.

i personally use an arch with wax i think the wax covers more than traction pads around the arch would. its really whatever u like though
