The X Factor has a strong mass bias, so even if the drilling looks the same, it might not be.  There was a discussion about how comparable these ball are.  I don't know if we were able to prove anything, but I would think the X Factor is quite a bit stronger than the Trauma.  The core is obviously stronger, and newer covers are almost always stronger than ones from a year or two ago.  My guess is that the X Factor needed more oil and was rolling out.
