Correct, similar. AndyMark worked with a spring manufacturer here in Indiana to get a supply of springs with the same outside diameter and wire diameter as the official one so teams can practice on something comparable. We did not source them from McMaster-Carr (at this point, who could?), and we are not advertising them as such.

Close counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and hopefully lift springs.
