Post by: charlest on June 12, 2017, 08:06:48 PM: I prefer the ball reviews of BJI currently. Previously I lived and died with BTM's reviews, but they seem to have lost their way with respect to accuracy.
Stacked leverage drillings are no longer relevant and their definitions of dry, medium and oiled lanes seem to deviant from the average by far too much and that skews the view of each ball review.

Both are worth subscribing to for their wealth of good articles of the various aspect of bowling. I will not cancel either one for quite a while.

Post by: jazzmdd on June 13, 2017, 12:00:05 AM: For me it's definitely BTM. BJI tends to be more industry news, and PBA news of recent champions etc. If you're looking for articles on physical/mental game etc BTM is the one.

Huh? One guy doing all 3 styles stroker, tweener, cranker? Sheesh if true that really skews their test procedure. The stacked leverage layout they use for tweener is nuts to start with.

+ a lot; I have subscribed to BTM for several years and really enjoy the articles. For me, the ball reviews are not that important.
