It COULD have been an excellent J-Cup..
The UHMW on the J-Cups are perfect to protect your barbell. The clearance on the J-Cups for e.a. squats are also excellent (especially when having the 20kg Ohio Powerbar with the RML Powerrack).
However, they do swing a lot when centering the barbell, EVEN with an empty bar. But not only when centering it, this also occurs sometimes when re-racking the bar. Some say that swaying occurs with every J-Cup when centering the bar, but the amount of 'swaying' is significantly more on these J-Cups compared to my standard Monster Lite ones.
If I switch those J-Cups from sides, they will either sway out or in (depending on which side you place them). If you pay almost 200 euros (incl shipping) for these, you expect them to be perfect, but unfortunately that is not the case. That is why I have returned them.
Does that suprise me? Actually not. If you consider this from a physics point of view: the moment/lever arm is larger in the sandwhich J-Cups compared to the standard (the length is larger from the rackpin to the point where the bar lies on the cups). Meaning that you have you apply less force to move these around. Also considering the fact that there is NO UHMW plastic on the back of these J-Cups (in contrast to the Sandwhich Monster J-Cups) which also contritubtes to the issue. What also could help, is applying a pin (same as on the Rogue Matador) at the bottom of the J-Cup. But there is no space to drill an extra hole.
So I hope that Rogue takes this info into account in order to make a perfect pair of Sandwhich Monster Lite 2.0. J-Cup.

Picked up two pairs, perfect quality
Bought two pairs during MBF to use with my new RML 490. Protects the bar very well. Solid build. I think you could drop these off a high-rise and they would be damaged at all. Racking and unracking the bar is very easy on these.

Excellent but should come as standard
The J cups are wonderful and definitely an upgrade on the pair you get with the monster lite rack. My only grip would be these should really come as standard if you are paying the best part of €1,000 on a rack. I would have preferred to have paid more initially than to have ordered these at a later date.

Sandwich J Cups
This is my third set of these hooks. I have them at various points on my rack, so I only need to move a bar to change between bench, squat and press.
These sit solid on the rack uprights, and if you don’t want to scuff up your nice bar over time with a heavy or the odd miss timed re-rack, these are stand out the best!
Don’t get me wrong, the standard hooks do the job, but seriously, as somebody else has said before, for a manufacturer that prides itself on quality, these hooks should be the base standard with any rack.

Not bad, but a bit bulky
I bought these instead of the normal J-cups with my RML-690. I’ve now gone back and placed an order for the normal J-cups. While I like these overall, they do not play nicely with the safety straps - particularly on the bench. Even though I’m a fairly tall guy, I find I have to have the two pieces (strap and j-cup) too close together, such that I can’t remove the straps again until after I’ve moved the J-cups.
They work fine for lifts where there’s more separation between the two, e.g. squats, but I really struggle with them on the bench. Quality product otherwise, though.
