Garland,
The Precept EV Spin, the ball made famous by Nick Price, was a surlyn covered two-piece ball with a high-spinning core.
You need to get your facts correct.
You were similarly wrong when you made the assertion on the other equipment thread that there is no 'standard' when it comes to iron lofts among similar iron types, and that lie is more consistent in modern clubs than loft.
A simple search of club specs for tody's #5 iron shows:
Mizuno has four 'blade' offerings- all 27 degrees of loft
Titleist has three " " " " " " "
Callaway has three " " " " " " "
Of the seven 'game improvement' offerings, four by Mizuno, one by Titleist, and two by Callaway = four of them have 26 degrees of loft and three have 25 degrees of loft in their 5 irons.
Six of Cleveland's seven styles of clubs have #5 irons with 27 degrees of loft, and one 'outlier' with 26.
So sixteen (that's all of them) of the blade irons produced by these companies have the same 27 degrees of loft.
Five of the game improvement clubs have 26 degrees of loft, three have 25, and one has 26. Considering that we know the game improvement clubs have to have stronger lofts because of the way their built, I'd say the numbers were amazingly consistent, and a 'standard' in any reasonable man's book.
Spalding, the maker/owner of the Strata ball didn't have the money or the market to capitalize on their three-piece creation. It wasn't until well after Callaway bought them that the lawsuit was brought, and if you look at Acushnet's market share of the ball business you'll see why Callaway decided to sue when they did.
