Comparing with B123/AA's, the hand position afforded by the ABD-X (I just noticed here from a typo that ABD is a anagram for BAD) only slightly improves your hand position for holding the outer top portion of otherwise round track drops, which is a somewhat negligible position on the track, not worth the premium you pay for for ABD-X when compared to traditional B123's and especially for a pair of B123's used.

i find them comfy enough, i actually like the outer tops (i guess the corners you could say)...but definitely VERY stiff in the drops when hammering hard.
ill be honest tho, bought them because they're purty and was able to get them used on fleabay. another casualty of ebay window shopping.
