FEATURED REVIEW: BT-DESIGNS APEX BARREL
The Apex barrel is designed so that the player can hit previously untouchable targets with new curve features. There are several "levels" (8 clicks/positions to be exact)from which to select/adjust from. Position 2-3 is equal in distance to the Flatline but is more accurate. Position 4-5 gives about 30-50 more distance and also retains incredible accuracy. Position 6-7 gives EVEN more DISTANCE, but accuracy starts to drift off. Position 8 aka "Super Flatline" gives the greatest Distance (about 80ft more than the Flatline for me), and has accuracy comparable to the Flatline itself.
Position 8 Dive-bomb, and Hook Left/Right are amazing. In order to properly use these setting the individual user will need to experiment with these options. They will need to be familiar with the distance, angle, and flight path which the ball takes.
When set on "Super Flatline" the ball literally seems to float... and float....
there is has anywhere between a 2-4ft drop that initially occurs before the ball levels back out.
(on level 8 setting the Apex hit the target at 303 feet. I did so at 2.4 out of 10 shots.)
(On level 5 setting the Apex hit the target at 167 feet and did so 8.9 out of 10 shots.)
