It must be a 38J state of mind then, as lots of guys fly the J and seem to do quite well.

And in that same state of mind idea, the 38J flies differently then the L does when I've flown them.

If for some reason I give up my beloved 38G for a flight it's the J I take because it feels closer to the G then the L does.

Entirely possible it's all in my head, but I'd swear they 'fly' differntly :)

Me too Dan.  I used to almost exclusively flew the J and since getting the new comp Ive switched to the L because I like "Putt Putt Maru" in highres.  The J and the L definitely fly different despite what others say.
