i have cast the tmax and it will do most any thing you want it too. i would compare it to a sage xp i guess but that is hard call. all i know is that i am not a good enough caster to to get the most out of the tmax or sage xp for that matter. i was able to cast it about 75 feet and hit a hat up to about 30-37 feet the only thing i had trouble with was roll casting it.
