I guess I missed the statement you are asking about, my review states nothing of the sort and Mr. Sterner's does not either, but here is my take on it, the AO is clean thru the front(would indicate skidding of some sort) a good midlane read(very subjective to say the least), and a big backend move(when it hits the most friction I would say).All I can say is this ball matches up very well with me and my preferred game, and the few others I have seen throw it as well.
