IMO you shouldn't write "UK" on your balls Harvey, as I don't like the idea NAH had to put it on Fixcrat's one.
It's not going to the international standardisation we are all expecting for I think.
That sayed, I'm happy to see some new balls coming, I don't care from where it comes, just hope it will be perfect to play all year long (easier than having different balls on 4 seasons).
And still in my opinion, yours are a bit heavier than Franklin, Harvey you announce 70g, Fixcraft announce 70g, so I will see if it's the same feeling when I will test it, can't know now if I will like this new balls.
I went with 70 grams because the hot weather red franklins we were using were that weight.
I've seen in the factory, they are made by using rotational heat molds, which a liquid PVC is poured into. The same molds and recipe as used for Franklins. The process is fairly crude and there can be variations of a few grams either way. I would like to maybe do some lighter by about 8 grams, the problem is getting the right balance with temperature and low bounce qualities.
As with street hockey,we're forced to have different temperature balls for extreme weather conditions , but for general use, the standard hot weather franklin red/RV pink and fixcraft NAH are OK.
