It doesn't matter if you are just beginning to learn clock and don't care about getting serious on it or you're a professional and want to win championships, this is the best clock on the market and it's incredible. The turning is amazing, the pins are smooth, and all of the color variations look amazing. And unlike most other clocks on the market this one doesn't hurt to turn at all and is completely competition legal!! I know it may seem expensive compared to the others but trust me, it's worth the extra money, don't bother with any of the other clocks because they're not worth your money, pain, or time.
