Thanks MJS for sharing the links on current state, there is also rumbling that more rule adjustments are in the works, but until something is announced it’s just rumor.
Back to the Yellowjacket, drilled both of mine last night, and couple interesting things. This new cover formulation almost feels like a hybrid of old particle and old urethane balls in the sense that it was not easy to get surface to adjust on a spinner. I’m so used to modern reactive and you can basically skip grits, definitely not the case on the Yellowjacket.
OOB first couple shots hit the lane and immediately hooked, after about 5 trips down the lane I was finally able to get the ball to push, it’s very early, and very forward downlane.
The other one I drilled I took the surface up to 4000, it was feet longer than the OOB, but still quite soft downlane. I’m intrigued when I can get on some flatter patterns and shorter patterns, but my eyes liked what I saw with how soft they were downlane. This is not a ball I see people really opening angles up in the fronts with initial impressions and that to me is a good thing, because the line has other balls for that.
I’ll report back more when I can get some more lane time and come back with some video clips.
