Think about it like you ' re intentionally trying to throw Brooklyn strikes . You still want the ball to hook , or else it would drive straight through the pins . The combination of the light ball weight and late hooking spinning ball , is what gives the ball the ability to deflect so dramatically . <| sep |> Yeah , my situation is closer to your yellow . Pokestops are rare and fairly dispersed , so it does me no good to know that there is a Weedle , Pidgey , and Rattata 0 . 5 km away , while showing me nothing in sightings in my neighborhood . And the new sightings radius when you are away from any pokestops is definitely much smaller it only shows things you are right on top of and would never have missed anyway . I used to have 9 things on nearby everywhere I went , and now I ' m lucky to have two . I wish we had an option of which tracker to choose . If a much bigger fan of the old one .
