I was just wondering if lava rope is any different than the other tachyon rope new england makes. The colours seems to be reversed but are the ropes actually different or is it just a fancy name for Sherrill?
 
I think they are slightly different. I would go with the orange/blue tachyon or the orange/gold tachyon over the lava.


But they could be the same. I have both the Tachyon and the Lava, and the Tachyon seems softer and more resilient to wear.


They are both made by New England, and maybe I am thrown off by the lava I have because it looks like the NY Mets colors, the wife beatin', coke snortin', crybaby NY Mets.

there is a chance of there being subtle differences between the ropes. This comes from the different colored fibers used to make the ropes. The dies change the strength of the fibers so the number of fibers in each pick may be different. This can lead to subtle changes.

Lava and Tachyon are the same rope. Lava is made of the color scheme selected by Sherrill. As far as I understand...

True! Though they are the same construction, Tom is right that colors could respond differently because of how they effect the fiber during the production process. It could also be that there are different poly fibers used for each color (bought from different manufacturers).

After talking with sales reps and design engineers from the rope manufacturers I found out about the subtleties of rope design and performance. Lots of variables in construction which leads to variables in how they work for us.

That ship has sailed, FT. I gave you the opportunity to call a truce, but now that the baby is almost here, I will have all kinds of free time in which to devise new and improved methods of killing you.

D a m n EZ, you really are a cold blooded killer. I did not realize this until just now. How many "treemen" have you covertly killed? Just a question.

I too feel that lava and tachyon are a tad bit different. I dont have any proof to back this up other than the feel.I really dont think it matters which one you get, I think you will really like either.
