Interesting reasons for the stability question. I hadn't heard of the DX deformation idea before. I was always inclined to think it was due to them getting beat and therefor having increased turbulence similar to what happen to the early smooth rubber golf balls. They found that they flew farther once they were beat in and had plenty of scars. And then one guy thought less start this process right out of the mold and so golf ball dimples were born.

Look me up when you get some of the new XL's in your bag. I'll have to give those a test flight.
