Yeah it was sweet spotted, but as others have said... it wasn't the ball I sent. I sent one that had a few stains on it and got back a perfect romlb. I'd be wary on sending a special ball, too. It cost around $3 each way. I just went to the post office self serve machine. I shipped it in a large padded envelope with a smaller padded SASE inside. I have a Grienke outstanding as well.
