You will never convince me the classic plus bounces more than a baseball. We fielded this for years, what's the problem now?
It's only one if two possibilities in my mind.
1, they sold their product on better competition because we allow hotter equipment, and they're afraid going with what asa choose years ago would undermine that.
2, they listen to the crybabies that complain about bad hops who in reality are afraid they won't hit as many homeruns.
I think it's that simple.
