Rick: It's always a pleasure to converse with you.
I too have never felt that CG is an major concern in setting up a ball. Based on what I'm trying to achieve, I'll look at cover, pin position, and pin to CG length before I get too worried about CG position. I do believe it has some influence, but again, not the first thing I look at.
I am not a trained ball driller, nor have I ever pretended to be. However, I'm a 230+ THS hack (better than some, not as good as others) who has owned and used 100+ balls over the past ten years. Those balls cover the full spectrum of heavy particle to plastic across every major ball line, and I've employed every variation of drill (including the famed RICO) I could practically try out. In doing all of that you tend to see roll patterns that are consistent with different types of drills.
Through all of that experience, I have seen noticeable roll differences (although minor) with different CG positions. I understand it's up to each individual to determine if that 'difference' has any significance to their respective games.
Where my issue has been with you is the arrogance with which you join conversations, throwing around your MAJOR representative status like used Kleenex. Anytime a conversation starts to sully anything that's Brunswick, you jump in with a heavy hand and try to kill it.
But it's all understandable. As a MAJOR company product specialist (as you constantly remind us), your job is to always represent Brunswick in the best possible light. That means if your company has presented information that is either conflicting, poorly delivered or possibly inaccurate, you do damage control instead of having an honest conversation. That's been clear in much of your interaction. You have to, because if you don't, they'll replace you with someone who will. That goes with the territory of being BrunsRicOH, Brunswick employee. I get that because I too work for a major company, and my job is to support their stated positions weather I agree with them or not. If you take the check you do their bidding -- it's that simple.
Happy stalking, and have a good rest of the weekend.
