Sorry; it's as legitmate an example as any other out there, regardless of the price. Just because you're mor elikely to but a cheap ball than an expensive ball has NOT ONE THING TO DO WITH THE EXAMPLE OR THE PROBLEM!
Besides, at that time the DZ was not a cheap ball, retailing for over $225 WITHOUT inserts or thumb plugs. $225 was a LOT of miney in 1996 for a ball.

Charlest,
I should have reprhased my reply. While I wouldn't have bought the ball because of the price, many others felt the same way. As a matter of fact, I remember when ONE guy in my league bought the Helix, a lot of people was ripping on him for buying it. When he realized (after about 2 weeks) that the ball wasn't that good, he put it away for good. That is why I said that ball was a bad example. Perhaps one or two people bought the ball, and was ashamed to say how much they paid for it. when they did, others stayed away from it.
