Re: ShopTalk: Balistik

I noticed the difference in specs, too. I was just very surprised to see "Apollo" and "Balistik" side by side again.

Burgess,
I downloaded the Dynacraft catalog as well and saw the Balistiks.

Their specs are:
Flex L/A/R/S, Tip .370, Butt .610, Weight 117g, Length 43", PTS 12 3/4"

Original Balistik specs are:
Flex (same), Tip (same), Butt .600, Weight 130g, Length 44", PTS 14"

Would be interesting to hear the real story behind these.  One common
thread on ST and elsewhere is that they are made in China.  One
rumor is that TT had to ship the Apollo manufacturing equipment to
China because of monopoly concerns.  Who knows?

I believe John has some relevant information regarding this subject.

What's up with that?
