The Patriot features a wide gap and oversized bearing. Great weight distribution as well. The Patriot features a starburst return system and is similar in shape to the FreeHand. Take apart design with adjustable gap.
A successful lower end model, with a move to a larger diameter bearing. This one came mainly in "patriotic" Red, White, and Blue. This is a more unusual color, made from Clear Plastic. Notice the old logo, from the original release of the Patriot.
