Thanks for the reply terminator. I am definitely going to buy a Thing now and may try the Element as well. I just needed to know because my area proshop may be closing for the summer months and I wanted to get another ball before I go to some upcoming local tournaments.
P.S. What type of drilling would one put on the Element/Thing if it would be thrown on a reverse-block pattern (which is becoming more and more popular at the tournaments I go to).
