Are honest staffer reviews the way of the future?
« on: February 15, 2017, 11:02:10 AM »
As we're finding more and more honest reviews about equipment out there, do you think ball companies will give staffers leeway to speak the truth about their products? Or do the ball companies expect us to believe that every ball is the best ever?

I dunno if staffers will have any lee way to give an honest review or not sometimes its just worded in a way where most wont say if its bad or good but just where it would fit in their bag or arsenal and as far as ball companies go they will always say their stuff is the best at least that's the way they keep marketing it anyway.just my .02

Not any time soon I'd wager.  Look at the first two here:

Virtually identical.  I guess it's not hard to determine what the distributed talking points are.

Well, with Luke (ITZPS) and Tamer Bowling, the honesty bug should catch on. Consumers eventually find out that all of your equipment isn't the greatest ever.

Ive had staffers tell me in person that a certain ball stinks.  They will never put that in print though.

Every ball review is just a mad lib.  Drilled the new (ball name)  Ball stores a ton of energy, reads the spot,  continious through the pins, hard hitting, etc.

I'd hope that companies would allow the latitude for staffers to state their honest opinion.

LOL.  I wish.  They just want whatever will sell more product.
