Topic: HREW vs. DOM

[Wermz84]

Sorry for the basic question everyone!

Can someone please tell me what the acronyms stand for what the difference is between the two.  i.e. from a metallurgy stand point and from a strengths and weekneses point of view.   The only thing that i think i know is that one of them is seamless but i really

What got me curious about this was I was at the front bumpers on Marlins web site?  Also what's a "stinger"?

thanks.

A stinger is the hoop of metal that sticks out from a tube bumper.

Those were good links, now i feel like i have have a clue when i see those acronyms.    

A stinger is the hoop of metal that sticks out from a tube bumper.

I would have never guessed that!!  They just say medium or tall hoop in the description.


Thanks you guys.
