Picked up this color blem Threshold from tekneek last season, it was around October. He gouged for some unGodly large amount of money for this magical orb that was merely a "color blem" or so he claimed.
Outta the box, 801. After going through numerous other pills that satisfied my curiosity, I chose to throw this ball at a tournament a few weeks ago when I need to smooth out the wet/dry condition that seemed to plague me during the first shift. This was just the ticket. Smooth, strong, and controllable at the breakpoint. Made about $200 on the lanes with pot games and brackets after a brutal first shift left me nearly broke. Thankfully, just enough to break even on my purchase.
Fast forward, 2/10/08, 269-279-268=816. Many games later and ZERO out-of-the-ordinary maintenance, this ball does exactly what it was supposed to do. Strong roll and it hits two to three pounds heavier than it really is. What's next? A return to the scene of the tournament success from a few weeks back. I couldn't be happier to have this ball around.
