The PB 10 MP is very crisp. The dwell time isn't especially long, but it is crazy precise. If I played age group tourneys against slower pace than what I am accustomed, I would use it instead of my PB 10 Mid. This way, I wouldn't miss, and would win by attrition, as opposed to using the Mid to pressure my opponent, which is difficult to do off of slower balls, because it forces me to have aggressive footwork to generate pace with control, and doing that for three sets, is tough
I can appreciate that, which is why I tried to make my 300 Tours work for 2 years against better judgment, just because they were so precise. But with the London I personally don't lose that much precision/control, and I gain more pop, tons better ball quality, and the addictive BB feel.
But honestly, if you competed again, you wouldn't consider a beefed-up London?
I think that's why I see a clear distinction in the two lines. The "feel" of each respective line seems to be the drawing point for differing players at this point. I realize that there are clear performance distinctions as well, but you seem to prefer that crisper feel of Volkl more, while I clearly prefer the BB 11 and London--I would call both comfortable, but raw and responsive.
Don't get me wrong though, if BB didn't exist, I'd likely hit a Volkl; it's the closest thing.
