I understand the point of the video, and I'm not trying to stir stuff up here, but I don't like when people work angles to make a point. The first shot the lefty was obviously standing too far right with whatever ball he was throwing, and almost looked like he was trying to throw it through the breakpoint. With as deep as he was, getting that ball to finish is a simple couple board move with his feet left. And why use a piece of chalk that is going to dry your line up and force moves more frequently if you don't have to? Why not learn how to adjust and simply move left a bit and be able to stay there longer? I can see what the ball does and the virtues of it without the wool over the eyes marketing. Then let's have Barry Asher do the same thing, lame duck a ball right through the thick of the soup, and oh wow, look, it doesn't hook. Then "well Barry likes to play 3rd arrow." Well that's nice, but if I'm a coach, my first thought is to improve versatility, not patch lack of skill or stubbornness with a new ball.
The ball looks great, and if they'd have just shown these guys throwing it, it would have been just fine, but I don't like videos that insult my intelligence. I never used to like the comparison videos from the past that made older balls look like junk. Of course if you use a ball on a condition it wasn't intended for, playing the wrong part of the lane, it's not going to look good. You use a hammer to pound in a nail, not a screwdriver. Fail on the video, but win on the Pivot. Impressive reaction.
