# Difference between David 1, 2 and 3 The David 1 was the original David loom—compact in size yet packed with advanced features. Named *David* after the biblical tale of David and Goliath, the loom embodies the idea of being small but mighty. The only difference between the David 1 and David 2 is the beater. * The **David 1** featured an overhead beater. * The **David 2** introduced a sliding beater, which also incorporated a popular shuttle race. The **David 3** redesigned the beater once more, moving to a floor-hinged system. Its construction and frame size were updated, making the David 3 heavier and sturdier than its predecessors. As noted earlier, many wooden components and hardware are shared between the Spring 2 and David 3 models to increase manufacturing efficiency.
