Brandon,
I buy what you said. It makes sense. In regard to the strength of the Reax V2 in 2013 vs. today, I also buy into Phil's explanation that the oil viscosity, amount of oil, lane machines, today's resins vs. 2013 have changed when measured against today's balls. This also, makes sense.
Hopefully, we have all learned from these posts from input from the experts, without having to infer people are trolls for seeking competent answers to their questions.
