BTM Aug issue
« on: July 29, 2009, 08:13:23 AM »
Just looked through the BTM August issue and on the 2009 at-a-glance page I noticed an interesting pattern. Just wondering if anyone else picked up on it.

Nobody wants to call the balls particle anymore, not a single one, but I doubt that's it... I don't see anything else... Argh!

Thanks Phil.  It normally drives me nuts waiting for the next issue to show up in my mailbox but now you really have me on edge.

I've looked a couple of times.  The only thing I noticed was that most of the high performance balls had similar length/backend reactions despite having different hook ratings.

I really don't think BTM's ball reviews are worth reading anymore.

The only thing that stuck out at me was that they finally gave a 17 backend rating to a couple balls.  I think the max they had ever reviewed a ball for previously was 16.5 but I could certainly be wrong.
