Surface finish: Box Layout: - PAP: 5 1/8 x 0 Speed: 18mph Revrate: 350 rpm RG: 2.50 Diff: 0.046 Ball review: This ball reacts a lot on the backend. It doesn’t read the midlane as well as previous T balls so you’ll se a more pronounced backend and more continuation. On the fresh I had to keep my break point [...]

To avoid this I opted for a little different layout. I often need something [...]

Surface finish: Box Layout: - PAP: 5 1/8 x 0 Speed: 18mph Revrate: 350 rpm RG: 2.47 Diff: 0.053 Ball review: I fell in love with this ball at first throw. Strength and predictability that’s what I like. It gave me good length, strong midlane and a strong continuous controllable back end. It reacted well to release changes and handled all angles [...]
