I agree with you on that.

They had me take mine back to the retailer. Meanwhile, they called the=20
retailer and told them to swap it out for a different one, and the retailer=20=
and CI=20
worked out returning the one that really didn't work right.

However, it DOES slow down on centering, and I really don't see how CI can=20
say otherwise. Perhaps when there's a LOT of weight of clay on the wheel, th=
e=20
weight of the clay itself interferes with that, but I first put about 2 lb.=20=
on=20
it, and it was quite noticeable -- unacceptably so on the first one. I think=
=20
large amounts of clay may actually act, in a physical sense, in making the w=
heel=20
itself heavier and more resistent to outside forces, but I'm not physics=20
expert, and that's a complete shot in the dark.

I don't throw big pieces at home (and rarely at the instructional studio).
