Jim acknowledged and discussed their use in amateur ball. Then he explained why he and other professional instructors, including those at PBUC choose not to use them.

It would be more accurate to say they use a different system. The use of the word "stubborn" implies that they refuse to use a superior system. They (professionals) do not believe it to be superior. They believe they are using what works best for their purposes.
