After a month of daily use, I realized that Sparrow is a world in its own right.
The latest generation of synthetics, after Mother Lode. Same sweetness of the tips, the best.
No whip effect, no glue bubble. Very thin fibers, tied by hand with a unique and very high density.
Following the concept of Wald, but at human prices. This leads to a massage superior to other synthetics, comparable with an excellent natural Silvertip.
In practice, I think it is the perfect union of the two worlds. With all the advantages of synthetics, but without the disadvantages of natural.
With the right setting, on a suitable handle, it can be perfect.

For me, the Babel handle is nice but uncomfortable.
Wide section, makes the grip less comfortable.
But especially the resin is heavy. Much more than wood.
In fact it weighs more than 50% more than others with similar dimensions:
• Knot 27mm
• Loft 50mm
• Height 115mm
• Weight 93g
 
I don't think I could love a green knot even if it were the best fibre in the world. Might be good as a Stirling branded brush with a white handle with green accents, beyond that, a novelty. Taste is subjective; there may be people looking for exactly that!
 
Also. I live in Saskatchewan and those green brush knots would go over big here. The RoughRider football club is hugely popular here and their main colour...green
