If my observation helps and those interested don't mind <
SYNC vs. Defiant
Fronts- smoother, tighter rolling (more of stable than Defiant)
Mids- still smooth, heavier traction (more arc at this point than Defiant)
Breakpoint- round continual circular motion (whereas Defiant uses its energy to stand up at the break, entering the pins more vertical)
SYNC may very well handle volume the same if not more than the Defiant, while seeming to use its energy in equal parts as its rotating. Of course the ability to do so will likely be a subject of debate for many.
I was able to get the deepest with the SYNC as compared to the Defiant, Defiant Edge and Lucid
