IMO, they play almost the same as other bearings. centertracks and KKs help center the string a bit. it is more of a preference than a choice. some people prefer KKs, and some people prefer flat.

Agreed. IMO I like flats better especially a good OD 10 ball.

Its your preference just give them a try and see what you like.

The bearing wont make a difference its the throw that does.

It’s just your preference as people said, and it’s only worth the money if you think it is. Every different bearing has it’s own unique feel and look, and it’s just up to you to decide what’s best for you. :wink:
