One guy did it in our region running a set out to 150+ runs. Flipped around the halfway point. They need an event to 'wear' back in and were pushy. After that, in the dry, they were 100% fine and back to their regular grip and feel.

This year we didn't have any wet events the Yoks were tested at, but water might have been an issue once flipped.
