Brunswick Phantom
« on: March 01, 2017, 10:15:23 AM »
I just scored a 15# used Brunswick Phantom.

What would be a good THS layout for this piece, since I know very little about it, core and cover wise.

Oops! Never mind! I see someone already posted the Sunbridge link, right below my post. Lightbulb core, can't go wrong there. RG at 2.56 or so and a decently high differential.

I may go with a large drilling angle and  small val angle, for this one.

I don't think this is an original, since it is grey in color.

Warning: Be sure if it an original or not!

 Reason is, the original has an asymmetric core.

Ohh! Didn't realize that. I'll have to double check. Thanks for the heads-up!

I have an original Phantom that is grayish in color due to the surface.  As Juggernaut stated, it is an asymmetrical.  I may be incorrect in saying this, but I think it is also like some of the Visionary asyms by being a z-spin.

Mine isn't drilled anything fancy and does have a large VAL.  Quite strong for me but I also have significant amount of hand.  I have to play away from the pocket on my fresh THS.

WOW! I think I'll definitely "test-drive" first before deciding on my re-drill. Thanks again!
