Hello everyone, just getting into flatwork and need advice on floats. Hoping to find gear that balances durability and ease of use. Glad to be here.
 
Hey @Sawitcoming, welcome to the forum. For slab work I usually go with a magnesium or high-quality aluminum float since they’re tough but still easy to control. A couple of guys here swear by certain brands, so you’ll get some good recs once gear talk starts. Glad you’re here.
