frame TC has ever designed. They took the best parts of the encore along with the lightweight of the Contender and coupled them for the G-2. The weakness of the old Contender was the slab side of the frame.
With hot loads the sides of the frame would stretch and you would begin to see ripples in the frame if you held it up to the light. The G-2 had the added "ribbon" on the side of the frame like the Encore, here is the encore
which gave it considerably more strength..here is the G-2
Neither is idiot proof, but with reasonable loads the G-2 frame would normally last considerably longer than the old Contender without having stretching problems.
