First of all, PLEASE give me feedback on this. I try to be objective in my reviews. Yeah I'm a staffer, but it's not my job to lie about stuff, it's my job to know everything about a ball and tell you what it does. I'm not much of a marketing fan, I believe in giving people information and helping them end up with a product they're happy with, not promoting something to move units. If the product is good, you won't have to worry too much about marketing anyway, BUT I also wanted to get my opinion in there, which is hard to do in one video.
I'm not a huge fan of my Timeless review video. No, didn't like the ball, but I still feel it's really good for certain bowlers or certain games. In my video it sounds like I'm talking out both sides of my mouth like, "well I don't like it, but I can't talk too bad about it, but I still have to make sure I give the facts, but I still think it will be good for this type of game . ." I was just all over the place and I really don't like how that turned out. So what I'm going to do now is make two videos for each release. A straight up review, just giving you the facts and telling you what it does, but also an opinion video to tell you what I actually think about it. Some people just want facts, some people want things you can't find on a tech sheet.
The commentary for this video feels a little heavy handed . . I didn't intend to come off like such a fanboy, but I really do like this ball, and there were a few points about what's going on in the industry right now that I felt like bringing up. I don't foresee future opinion commentaries coming out like this, there will be much more about the ball and much less "extra" stuff. Please tell me what you think though, is doing two videos overkill, do you like it, do I in fact sound like I'm pulling a "bambam" by talking it up so much, etc? I don't want to lose my objective reputation, that's most important, I don't want to get the, "oh he's just another staffer, pay no attention to what he says." Thanks in advance, I know I can count on this site's users to give it to me straight.
