Bill Thompson Elite user Mississippi 422 Posts	Posted: Dec 3, 2014 04:37 pm 0 The best Chop Cup I have is the one I still use to this day... an Ickle Pickle aluminum chop cup. Now, I have RNT2 Don Alan and it is a beauty, but heavy as all get out, stainless steel outside, copper inside! Is it sturdy? yep! And in the right hands I suppose it could be a real worker... That Ickle Pickle cup is light and easy to handle. It is hard enough to withstand the Don Alan type abuse if you perform that way and can produce a softball as the final load. Its a bad to bone cup! And it isn't all that expensive either. "To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment. Those who cannot do it will be destroyed on the lathe of heaven." - Chuang Tse

It's a collector's item. I like a Don Alan aluminum cup: lightweight and less expensive to replace if lost or damaged. Aluminum is so underrated. Rings-N-Things Magic Manufacturing

I like it but I don't perform with it. It is a really nice piece, though, very well made and precision. "To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment.
