Quadcopter pitches more backwards than forwards

I've been using baseflight for a while now, no problems. Until one day however after not flying for a few weeks, when I pitch forward on the transmitter, in level mode, the quadcopter tilts about 20 degrees and stops. Its hitting some sort of end point. When I go backwards, the stick is much more touchy and goes back much further. Rolling left and right there is no problem. Baseflight shows that the pitch stick moves an equal quantity both ways. Also in acro mode, it tilts forward very slowly, but tilts back quickly, and I am stumped.

Sounds like a setting in your radio, however if the stick moves at the same speed on the baseflight receiver test then I'd opt for some type of stabilization end point or your quad simply being unbalanced.

Try putting your fingers under the center to balance it and if you need to adjust the balance just move your battery forward and backwards.

I don't think its balance because I'm holding the quad with my hand when testing it, and it pulls backwards so much harder than it does forwards. It could be something on the radio but I cant figure out what. Its a turnigy 9x.
 
Are all your control rate adjustments the same for forward and reverse pitch?

If forward pitch is at 90% and reverse is at 120%, that would pretty much cause that.
