i have bars with backsweep and without. depends on what you want. no backsweep is easy for inwards/bris and backsweep is easier for bars

Extend your arms and fists out as if you're gripping some bars, then move your arms wider apart while keeping your wrists straight. You'll notice your hands just naturally twist outward. Back sweep is made to accommodate that, so that you aren't straining your wrists with wider bars. So it's only really needed for bars 21 or 22 wide and up, unless you're really small. But some people still prefer it with thinner bars anyways. It doesn't really make any tricks easier, just makes it more comfortable.

Which I guess in turn does make things easier, so w/e haha.

i have backsweep. i like the feel of it, feels more flowy and better on my 21 wides. but when i ride regular t bars now i feel really odd.
 
i have 8degrees backsweep with frid steel trees and when i ride someone scoot with 5 degree RADS they feel almost straight, so it makes a big difference to me tbh, but all pp

Backsweep is good on wide bars. It doesn't serve as much purpose on narrow bars. I think the cutoff is 20 wide, anything narrower and backsweep isn't really useful.

In wider bars it feels great. But i just dont like it much as T bars. Maybe cuz i prefer 18-19 bars.

I have raderalls. I love them. 22 wide feels sick.
But I also have to 20 wide Ts which feels awesome.
