Well I tend to limit my interest to the Brunswick and Storm families with the occasional hammer ball tends to narrow the field a bit. your correct though what you see on tv and what you see on league night being effective aren't necessarily the same thing.
Yeah I see that as a serious issue myself. I wouldn't buy anything I didn't intend to drill in the next 6-8 months myself.
Well first off these balls were release over probably 3 years so not quite as run on as you would believe. The Intellect was solid but polished so in effect a pearl, So you basically got the normal sequence solid, hybrid, polished. Of the 1st iterations of the series the Original was probably most popular the Intellect the least. Only people I know who liked the intellect added surface to it making it closer to the original.
The next group were the Scholar a pearl with a weaker cover, The hybrid Einstein with a stronger cover and higher Rg core, the Braniac same core as Einstein pearl with a stronger cover. I consider these the 2nd iterations of the series. The Scholar was kind of unloved but it was much weaker than the rest of the line which confused people. Popularity was close between the Einstein and Brainiac both were really good along with the original being the best of the bunch.
They changed the core again with the Strategy I seen quite a few sold didn't know anyone who loved it or hated it. I think they are done with the masterminds now but they may surprise me. The only ones I thought really strange were the Einstein and Braniac the motions were somewhat close even though the Braniac was longer with a touch more backend I wouldn't want them both in the same bag.
Sorry I'm bored today lol
