if you want to run ceramics and vented endbells...go for it..Im sure some already do...I dont, and I beat plenty that do...does it matter?...No, do I care?...No....Ive had guys cut the end bells way before Novak began to sale them..2+ years ago...did it help?..NO...
point being we have Thunder Jam #4 coming at the end of the month...Snowbirds Nats, and the USVTA Scale Champs coming soon...
do we really think that a bearing or endbell is on anybody mind?...No again...
all jokes aside....if you want those little upgrades and it makes you feel better, go for it...but dont go crying cause the Batt beat you with his TC3 Goose and reman 25.5 SS...
