I think it's important to remember that we don't "want" every ball to be "perfect" in the videos-- here's why.
When we go bowling, what are we trying to accomplish? The correct ball reaction which matches the pattern and the surface on which we are competing. If we want to buy a new ball, isn't it better to see a reaction video where a ball might not look like a "perfect 10"?
In other words, watching Jason throw the GM and struggle actually gives me more info rather than him tossing it and everything reacting perfectly. Some layouts don't match up with the bowler and lane condition/surface. However, knock the drill angles down some (let's say 50x4x45) and I betcha the ball looks better than bowler number 2 does in the video.
Does the gm look greatnow? Depends on what you mean by "great". Can't wait to see some comparison shots-- at that point we can get a real read.
Please note-- my comments aren't meant to be harsh or demeaning; rather, I think we have become so accustomed to a ball rolling "perfectly" in a reaction video (after all, isn't that the intent of a marketing video?) that we forget that sometimes, equipment doesn't match up.
I'd rather see Jason struggle with a ball and save myself $150, or spend the money and already have a more rounded idea of what a ball can't and can do.......
