So I hit the EST this weekend.
Weighting wise the 26oz I have didn't feel as heavy as my Fulk Elite does, but you could definitely feel the 1oz. end-load.
If you have hit any of the Worth's (EST, Legits, Wickeds etc.) last few years this felt same as those do; very little break in needed and balls were jumping off really nicely.
I struggled a little bit with the ounce end-load at first because I have been swinging a KP23 last few years so I was late on my first few swings.
Once I got adjusted to it I was hitting the ball nicely and it will be my gamer pretty soon.
For what its worth, we don't compression test where I play so I have no idea how long until it fails.
