1. Where did the search feature go? ... I haven't been here in a few months.

2. Does anyone know if the BTM reviews changed their scales at any time in the past? I mean did the hook rating or backend rating change from inception till now?

3. Does anyone know where the BTM reviews spreadsheet is? There used to be a sticky with a good amount of general information, but I can't find that in the new forum.

I'm sorry if this has been touched on in the past, I just haven't been here in a while.

Thanks in advance,

drew

BTM changed the scales back in 2002 like for example: Hook went from 1-50 to 1-100. and currently they are changing RG and Diff. to the MFG.s numbers.

The ball review spreadsheet is here on my bowling stuff site

Here's a BTM pdf which explains their ratings, from about 2009 so it doesn't have the most recent changes.

They also changed length to an actual number of feet past a certain milestone about 4 years ago or thereabouts. Previously it was just a relativistic number.

Also many of their numbers are based on the theoretical "stacked leverage" drilling, which I believe is no longer accurate or meaningful.
