Improvement #2 is making the body wider. Jordan Malone suggested we make it wider because sometimes skaters, such as himself, have a big offset and the ankles of the boots hit together. The width is a full 1/4 inch wider than any other jig on the market.
Improvement #3 was the tool-less design. Notice that the knob underneath is used to lock the middle bar in place instead of using an allen wrench. This idea was contributed by Mario of http://www.specialequipment.com/.

Improvement #4 was to make the StayBent lighter; notice the larger cut-out in the end pieces. Also the knobs are made of a lighter material. The new design is approximately 25% lighter. Paul Marchase of http://www.marcheseracing.com/ shared with us the importance of keeping it as light as possible especially for international travel.
