Title: Primos Heartbreaker
Post by: Jester87 on February 26, 2022, 01:32:56 PM
Noticed the Heartbreaker 228 and 230 models available again in limited stock, $79.99. Primos.com
Amazon had it at $54
Quite higher than I remember but guess they took notice of the crazy ebay prices.

I didn't think they were either, but I looked on Primos site after seeing this thread today and the box is made of Mahogany like the originals and of course a Purple Heart lid.

The lasering on the paddle is different, if nothing else.............

Also the Lil Heartbreaker is one sided and the Heartbreaker two. There were all these variants of the Heartbreaker and a few of the Lil Heartbreaker before they stopped making them and the new ones are different as well.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220302/5b773c7ceb284e4573cf6f4cd9f978c4.jpg)

Got one of the new 228s. Sounds great and runs easy, esp without chalk. Won't hesitate to hunt it. 
Hope to meet Mr. Primos again and have him sign it.
