Icon2 first impression is awesome!
« on: April 06, 2004, 08:07:21 PM »
Picked one up from Backup ball.

Drilled 5 by 4 3/4 for a righty and like 6 X 6 for me.

The amount of push this ball had for a particle both my righthanded throwing pro and I couldn't believe.  Smoothness movement and carry were all great!

We'll see how it holds up and how any drilling changes affect it!

REgards,

Was the clean move because of some coverstock alterations by previous owner (well I'm checking in too).  Or weak pin position I don't know.
PS I had seen this ball tear them up in this house before and also the Wicked BRT also(same core) This ball actually looks cleaner than the BRT!  How?

You haven't ever posted that thought before have you?

Just kidding!  I'm putting the game counter on em.  Oh balls always last loger for me!  Why, because I do nothing except throw them.

A good friend of mine who became rich used to tell me about his 1981 Honda that had 350,000 miles on it and he was already rich.  I can't get rid of it, it runs too good and it still looks good.  I said how does it still look good.
He said, "I leave a light coating of dirt on it at all times and that protects the paint from the elements".

I put the pin at 5" on mine, pin under the bridge and it had a super late move, almost more like a resin pearl than a solid polished particle. Then I re-checked the RG and differential. I should have put the pin in the 4-4.5" range. A weight hole in the thumb positive quadrant made it move MUCH earlier.
I sold it.
