I haven't thrown any Columbia since the Big Bully, which i really like, shot my first two 300s with it. When I first heard about the Big Shot, i didn't really care for what i had heard, but after hearing nothing but great things i've decided to look into it. My rev rate is right around 300 and ball speed around 18 mph. I am currently throwing ebonite Total NV and NV as well as a total inferno, black widow, and Special Agent, but i am really impressed with the Ebonite NV's, but want to find something in between the NV and Total NV. Something that hooks a little earlier then the Total Nv, but still has a good amount of pop on the backend. So my question is, do you think the Big Shot would fit this spot? And if so, what kind of layout should i be using, and do you think i should adjust the surface?
