Anyone have the Pursuit-S?
« on: September 06, 2012, 08:18:38 AM »
I just noticed that the Pursuit-S is already on closeout and there's not much here on the board.... specs on this are right my alley (pun intended), but sure not feeling the love.

What's the word?

Part of me really wants to drill another one with a longer pin and a big shine on it.......It wouldn't be a pressing "need" but I think it would be a nice ball to have.

I really like to get one but a little concern about the durabilty of the coverstock. Ebonite had tried to address this issue in the description for this ball( and the Pursuit). How well are they holding up?

Thanks for your feedback!

I only opted to pick one up because it cheap and was a good candidate for the Motion hole.  I think I have the surface adjusted to where it needs to be and the hole the correct size for the equation to work now.

I am cleaning it after every set with Power Wash and a gold pad... Not a lot of games at any set surface, so I don't have a good basis for coverstock "longevity" yet.

1.125" x 4" hole... just changed the surface again.  What I have success with will likely be completely different from what you find fits your style.

Update,

Another guy in our house is a good level release up the backer(say 30 degrees axis rotation).

He likes strong stuff and ups his speed if too much.  I think he had a Jet Black Taboo.
He went to this pursuit and is TEARING it up as he said recently there had been more oil and a little less backend. 

His Pursuit S had a pin stronger drill than his Taboo also and was smooth and relentless going to the pocket.

I don't know about the durability.

Regards,

Had the ball. Yes, past tense.

For some reason, this ball never worked out for me. The ball motion I was expecting never came to be. Various plugs and redrills didn't work either. This was the first ball that Ebonite put out since 1999 that let me down..

Traded it in for a First Blood.

The main ebonite ball junkie had one....never really dug it . Tried a few surfaces as well.  Everyone seemed to like the assymetical version too
