Anyone own a "Wonderbar" from Fringesport? Looking for reviews/experiences.
Right now trying to decide between the Ohio Power Bar, Texas Power bar and the Wonderbar.
Have heard the TPB has pretty deep knurling. For those who have experienced it, is that an issue?

Do you have to have a center knurl?
I ask because I have a tpb, and a raw regular Ohio bar. And I much prefer the raw Ohio.
I don't have experience with the wonder bar but of the three you named I would go with the Ohio power if you had to have a power bar.
Texas power bar is a great bar but the knurling is very deep and not nearly as "grippy" as my Ohio bar.

So, the raw Ohio Bar doesn't have center knurl? I've looked at so many I can't keep track.
I personally prefer the center knurl but I could probably live without. I'm not going to be squatting near what I used to back in college.

I have a wonderbar. Great bar, better than the rogue bars at mygym, but those get abused much more than mine.

The regular Ohio bar is no center knurl. Ohio power bar does and has a more aggressive knurl.
I squat with the Ohio bar and lift heavy, I prefer no center knurl and have no problem with the bar slipping on any lifts.

I have the Ohio power bar and I much prefer it to the Texas power bar. Best bar I've used.

Ohio power bar here. I'm a big fan. The knurling surprised me at first because I was coming from cheap commercial gyms, but the adjustment period isn't long.
The biggest adjustment was constantly jamming my wrists on heavy deadlifts. I was used to far more slack in the bar when putting it down, and would constantly mess my wrists up putting the bar down.
Never used the other bars, but I've never regretted the OPB and it's 3 years in.
