So,
After 2 weeks straight of conditions where I have nothing weak enough to play anywhere near my comfort zone I've decided to pick up the Slay/r.
The conditions I would be using it on are a THS using prodigy on synthetic lanes. Second shift, medium oil to 35' buffed to 45'. What I'm finding is that by second game I'm standing all the way to the left dot throwing across 4th arrow with my Pink Raspberry (sanded to 800 with 1 minute in a lustre king for a light polish).
I simply dont feel comfortable playing that deep & when I try to play twig with my pearl urethane or flatten out the wrist, the spottiness of the track just makes the reaction too inconsistant. That's why I'm looking toward the Slay/r for a coverstock that will hold better than the Red Pearl Hammer, but not overreact like my solid resin.
So here's what I'm looking for. I want to be able to play the Slay/r comfortably in across a dry track & have a nice smooth recovery in the back end. What I've found is with my lower revs very long pins (5") & pearl resins tend to not recover soon enough for me. So I'm wondering what length pin you all might suggest & if possible, a few suggestions on a drilling.
Thanks in advance for your help!
