Can anyone confirm that the McMaster part is equivalent to the amazon link for the spear gun tubing (other than the dimensions) in terms of quality or rubber type?
We ran the McMaster tubing at our first competition and it definitely showed some wear and caused some issues in eliminations, I am wondering if the spear gun tubing will be better.
