Instead of looking through all the threads, none are better. The CT bearing doesn’t concave as much as there is a flat plane on the middle. This doesn’t make the string bunch up as much as KK. KK just bunches them up all on the middle which isn’t ideal for some tricks. My opinion: Don’t get either, stick with the flat, it’s good enough.
