Trajectory - high, mid, low
Should be self explanatory

Spin
Suck back - high spin
Hop & stop - high spin but not coming back 5 feet
Release some - trends to run out a bit
Roll out - there's no coming back

Feel - firm, crunchy, soft, mushy
Should be self explanatory

Durability (1 round) - like new, scuffed but payable, rough shape
Should be self explanatory

Rating
Gamer - could replace or become part of current rotation
Casual - would play again if given or found
Avoid - do not like

Notes or writeup
Use this section to tell us everything you thought about the ball, compare it to other balls and all other observations
