Ball discriptions
« on: March 06, 2006, 10:37:46 AM »
Is it just me or does brunswick use pretty much the same thing in every pearl ball discription, "will do good in med-dry to med-oily" and when polished will form more of a skid snap" and things like that, obviously its not exactly the same on all of them but pretty much most of them. Im not complaning but I thought it was kind of funny and wondered if anyone else noticed it aswell

They probably do that to keep their descriptions for each ball as basic as possible instead of creating all new descriptions. Id suspect other brands do the same thing.

I mean: what else do you expect a peral reactive to do? Anything else would either put the ball in a niche (like they did with the Fuze Eliminator, check the decription in the online drill sheet) or create too much hype which might annoy customers.

I think Brunswick has become very sensitive about PR and ball performance hype - they even changed the SI and SZ performance ratings (reduced the numbers for hook potential) according to customer feedback - surprising to me, but politically correct.
