The numerical ratings listed at the upper left hand side of each ball review reflect our three testers’ opinions of how the ball performed for them on each of four different “fresh conditions,” as described in the lane conditions section. Any noteworthy observations during the “breakdown” of that particular shot will be stated in the text, but the numerical value will be from the ball’s performance on a “fresh condition.” 1-3 signifies below average performance, 4-6 average performance and 7-9.5 good to excellent performance. Stroker’s rating is always listed first, then Tweener’s, and finally Cranker’s opinion.
For example:
This means that on the dry condition, Stroker gave the ball a 7.5 rating, Tweener gave it an 8 and Cranker gave it a 9.
