Where do you feel the threshold would rank in the line up of oil balls this year?  I had one when they hit the market as a factory trade off for an undersized ball.  I didn't want it then so I sold it.  I prefer a ball that has a little bit of angle even off of oil, so remembering what I was hearing about this thing, I think it might still be a good choice.   Would it still be considered an oil moster or are we looking at something like a black widow ect...  Thanks for any insight you guys can offer me.

I'm in the same boat as directdrill...

...for me the Threshold was a good ball but it seemed to lack the backend movement that I thought it would have.  In some regards it reminded me a whole lot of the reaction I got from my Special Agents.  I much prefered the Pure Energy as the oil ball within the DynoThane line-up.  I still throw the original Pure Engergy that I drilled up back when I was on their test staff and have another one stashed away.

Don't get me wrong...the Threshold would cover more boards for me, but I found the roll of the Pure Energy was better for me on heavier oil in that it read the pattern better for me.

Looking back on the Threshold I wish that I tried a pin down drilling on mine...maybe with a low hole.

Oh if you can find one you could also think about a Vendetta Maxx or even a Centrifugal Mass...the CM hooked a TON for me out of the box.
