The visual is just how the handle is set in the barrel. Hell the composite isn't even layered the same in that spot as the sweet spot. Don't you think if this were the case they would advertise it? And even better yet, why would the manufacture WANT a side that last longer and doesn't perform...
Hit the DC some more yesterday. I don't think it's the same barrel. It's a stiffer feel on impact. Almost more crisp. Defiantly not as soft but every bit as good. That thing was bananas. You can't go wrong really. If you like a heavier end load go with the DC but I prefer the ressy. It seemed to...
They definitely feel like the grey ones more so than the blue ones. I loved the grey ones and, despite their great performance, hated the blue ones. These may have a tad more end load but the feel on contact is similar to a grey one with 700ish hits on it.
