Neck vs. no-neck ball: what's the difference?

Necked-down balls bend further. No-neck balls are for mostly up-and-down movement.

1. A "neck" is a step on the ball. The necked-down ball gives more articulation, about 11 degrees.
2. The no-neck ball gives about 7 degrees and is meant mostly for straight up-and-down movement.
3. Pick necked-down if the link needs to twist a lot (most crawler / 4-link setups). Pick no-neck if you want it stiffer side to side.
