I guess the new releases thing kinda depends on what they see in practice, and what they've used throughout qualifying and match play... personally I don't think companies push certain balls for TV, but then again I am not on tour and ppl will generally tell you what you want to hear, so it is what it is I suppose. I personally don't use any "new" releases at all on the PBA patterns, my stuff is all within the past year, year and a half, but by no means has it "just released" and I seem to get a reaction that is perfectly fine out of my equiptment, of course execution is a whole different story :-P
As for calling Doug ignorant, I don't think he was trying to say it in a demeaning way, he just chose poor wording, I think he was trying to say that without personally talking to someone with a said company, one shouldn't make general assumptions, but it's ok, I think he and Doug cleared the air on that one.
I don't actually post on here as much as I would like because it seems that many are not too keen on constructive criticism, even when said politely, and for the most part if someone doesn't see something perfectly like someone else, a war of words ensues, I think if everyone here just took the time to read what everyone thinks, and takes it in and thinks about it, whether they agree or not, we can all provide constructive advice, and learn a lot more. That's all.
