Bought these bars after reading a lot of reviews, as I wanted something direct but not too stiff. I have to say they are a perfect blend of direct feel twisting through the trees at Cannock Chase, and yet take away the harsh vibration of trail chatter on the fire roads. They are the same sweep angles as my current bars, which I have settled on over the years, at 8* and 5* degrees, but seem easier to roll forward and get comfortable, so perhaps 'feel' flatter than the sweep angles suggest? I think that helps the Deity bars when rolling them forward without pressure on wrists. I liked them so much (I didn't buy the company) but I did buy another set for my other bike as they work without any fuss or needing to fiddle to get them comfy for the first 3 rides.
