Because it's a dull solid particle ball, even though it's a light load, it's not likely to be a true benchmark ball unless you have a lot of ball speed and/or lower revs.

A benchmark ball, in general, is one in which you can go into any house, any tournament and have a likelihood that you can either use it or know immediately, if you need a stronger or weaker ball, a longer or an earlier ball. As such, it is usually a medium oil ball, probably, for most people, a solid resin ball like the V2 Sanded, drilled in very "medium" way, not for early roll, nor for length.  

For high speed or low rev players, it may be a ball like the Big Time. For crankers, it may be a pearl resin. For 90% of us it is a V2 Sanded, a Bruiser/Nemesis, Messenger Ti Traction, Slash, Atomic Charge, etc.
