I worked as a Rep. for SA when they interduced the half sizes. They were at best a complete flop! Almost no one including the folks selling them (Me included) could tell the differance. IT WAS A SALES GIMICK TO GET MORE LINE SALES! if a dealer had to carry 20 SKU's instead of 10 they had less money to spend with cortland. Most dealers told them (us) to stick it where the sun don't shine.
