Ah, yes, the Brine Magnum: the first self-pinching plastic head.

My first stick was a Laser Lite. Then I played with a Brine Magnum, a Hi-Wall, and an Excalibur before switching to an OG Sam. Seems backward, I know.

I guess old school is a relative term, but I agree with Woody. The OG STX Sam and Brine Superlight 2 (not 2+2) are old school. Everything after that…not so much.

I don’t know if I buy the whole line in the sand thing, and it’s the Brine Edge that is making me say that. It had the old triangle shape and more importantly the back flared out like the Turbo/Viper/Dominator. It feels old school to me, great on the end of a pole. The Oz came out at the same time, and I would consider that old school.

Anything pre-STX Laser Lite is old school to me. When the plastic heads took on that wavy shape, the game was never the same. My game changed drastically when I went from a Superlite II to a High Wall.

Anything pre-1996 is old school, before the Brine Edge (offset era) and Cascades were introduced.
