This is the only deadlift bar I have ever used, so I am mainly comparing to my experience using a Rogue multi purpose bar and a Rogue cerakote OPB. Those were my only bars for a long time, so when I got this I immediately noticed that it was significantly whippier and the knurling was way sharper. From reading other reviews, it seems like that might be inconsistent but for me doing higher rep sets with this bar can actually be painful. In a good way though, I have never felt like I was going to lose my grip because the bar was slipping.
I am also inclined to like this bar because I got it brand new for around 200 bucks. Not sure if it was getting discontinued or what but I would recommend this bar, although maybe try to get your hands on it first since the quality does seem to vary based on what others have said.
