The Spin Band Telegraph Avenue, Oakland — Anilox Edition

The scrape

Too much tack is a flooded web, not a virtue.

People treat extra spin as a blessing. Extra spin that dumps a ball five feet short of a back pin is a flooded headline.

The blade exists to leave the right volume. We scrape a flooded 54 the same way. If the stall screenshot looks "tour," and the Merritt rye dumps you, the screenshot was advertising. Cass will say so once.
