Thanks for the info
 

I am scheduled to do a Mens National D in Sept and found this info very interesting and helpful. I sent an e-mail to the TD I am sure he will find the same

Re: Thanks for the info
 

Congrats, Don. I hope you have a good time. Who's your UIC?

Thanks Mike
 

Walter Sparks will be the head UIC. I also heard today that for sure ASA will be changing to the .44 COR Ball for 2003



Have a good one

Don

Re: Thanks Mike
 

Walt's going to be my UIC, also. Don't worry, I won't say anything toooooo bad about you. :)

The ball is not just the .44 COR, but the .44 COR with a 375 compression. That is the difference. You may see this ball at your NT as ASA is suggesting a change take place as soon as possible. However, that all depends on how many red-stitch .47s are still available.

it's the compression
 

Mike is absolutely correct. These days, compression is the key, not COR. Going down to 375 compression will make a big difference.
