Should i put a shockwave board in an axe? or is it a waste of money?

Shockwave will allow you to keep all your settings when you change the battery. That alone is worth it to me. Plus it is inexpensive!
All brand new Axe's are shipping with the shockwaves stock now.

And if they happen to have been an older stock that wasn't bought, all you have to do is call up Kee and they'll send you one for free

even at $30 it is a worthwhile investment. Keeps your settings and adjustment is much easier.

The shockwave's ability to save setting is very important. The use of the trigger to changes the settings vs. that older little button also saves time.

One of the biggest changes in my opinion was with the ramping logic. The older board seemed to "run away" a lot while ramping. The shockwave was much better in that regard. If you play tournies, I'd get the shockwave as it'll lessen the risk of a gun penalty.
