Mine is by far the Smith back no2, it was clumpy right out of the box and nothing would fix it.

I think you may have just gotten a bad one because my friend got a few of those and they were fine.

It is just you.. Mine were great too..
-
Maybe you got the smooth finish instead of the cambric? It's nowhere near as good and will clump out of the box, it's not for flourishes.
Most disappointing I've got was the Zippo deck. It was just a crap standard bike.

I'd have to say that the worst USPCC deck I've ever had was, unfortunately, my Bicycle Guardians deck. I love the design, the idea, and the look, but mine didn't have that glide effect for very long. They started clumping a week after I got them, even though I had barely been handling them and always cleaned up before using them. It disappointed me because I had read great reviews for this deck and I had high expectations for it. Also, mine had that curve thing going on, so I could never fan them or spread them well. Really disappointing.

Where did you buy them from?

Pretty sad story..My Guardians deck is still in good condition although i use them quite a lot
-
The worst deck of mine is Karnival Decks .. i have 2 karnival decks both of them sucks to the core.. they dun spread they dun fan and lot of other things even though i never use them
-
For me it is sentinels.
It can't be fan even if I didn't use it at all. Just fan them in my hand few times.

Yea that deck sucked! It looks cool but its just terrible!

LOL, I am going to do a really great trick, reviving an old topic!

I think why u guys are having these problems are the way u keep ur deck and the way u handle them. I have not much problem with these decks..
-
It' strange how each individual deck can be different to another. I have two white knuckles, both the same yet 1 handles perfectly and the other handles worst than tragic royalty.
-
Well although this doesn't matter, my Ultragaff deck never has been able to fan or spread, which doesn't really matter though.
-
Probably my sentinels....they suck
-
Probably my Mavericks.
-
mine is the tragic royalty, they were crap right out of the box, never fanned, straight away they were clumpy, so im gonna use it for practise of the fourfit by blue crown!!
-
Ohh yea, it would be a tie between my Mavericks and Tragic Royalty
-
Far and away the worst USPCC deck I own is the Bicycle Transducer Aqua Edition.
I can not express how bad this deck handles.

I want that deck, but just for the looks.
-
Lava Transducers were pretty bad, and Tragic Royalty too. In terms of design, I think the Tattoo deck was one of the most appalling. Then again, some of the designs being made now are beyond catastrophic.

What's up wit the tragic royalty deck. Why does everyone hate them so much?
-
Anything(!) from KEM since they were bought by USPC.

All I can say for sure is that they're butt ugly. I've heard they handle really badly, too but I dunno.
-
For me, it would probably be the Mavericks (which I used to have), and the Series 1800's, those don't work at all. Possibly one of the worst E decks out there.
-
Butt ugly is a relative term, many like the artistry used in their creation. New Kem's handle worse that than any other major manufacturer of plastic cards. And they tend to curl with only minor humidity. Old Kem's (pre USPC) handle better than recent decks with Magic finish.
-
tragic royalty ... whats wrong with mavericks? i got some mavericks a few years back and they were fine ... kind of like streamlines.
-
Has to be Tragic Royalty for me as well, Handle absolutely horribly can't do anything with them
-

Mine was fine:D

Now are you talking about the old 1800's or the new ones? They've started making the red decks with the Performance Coating and they're slicker than snot now. They're still working on the blue ones. The old ones did handle pretty poorly - I've botched a trick or two because of sticky 1800 cards.
-
My worst handling deck was technically not USPC - I found a few shops selling forged Bees for a buck a pack. They weren't even worth that much.
I like my Sentinels, but they curl like a pig's tail.
-
The new vintage series 1800 is good .. i saw a review on it .. it fan quite good i am deciding to buy them now .. worst card i have ?? Karnival

Alan Paoletti (great magician, flourisher, and deck reviewer) says the original 1800's handle like a deck from the 1800's.

FYI- The 1800 have been fixed and handle great, but only the red ones. I do not think they got around to changing the blue ones yet.Must have something to do with the stock. (I mean amount in the warehouse) Anyway, you will be quite pleased with the red ones.
-
Here's an experiment for everyone here. Take your worst, crappiest deck - not something you've beaten to death but a brand new deck that handles crappily. Give each card a fine dusting with fanning powder (use fine talc if you can't afford it/find it), brush them off then put them unboxed in a card press for a few days (or under a few heavy books if you don't have one).
Tell me how they handle after you've done all that. I'd be curious to see what improvements if any would be achieved.
