Drilled - 5x4, pin under ring finger, low Xhole
Coverstock - box condition
I was a huge fan of the Original Puma because of its pearl cover and STRONG revving off my hand. A pearl ball that never squirted on anything. It was extremely versatile and very forgiving on all patterns.
So now comes the re-release, same core, stronger coverstock to combat the newer denser oils. I drilled it exactly as my originals.
One difference I noticed was the look thru the first 15ft. The newer version is much cleaner thru the fronts, maybe due to its much shinier surface coming from the factory. In the midlane this ball SHINES, revs up quickly like the original, very consistant shot after shot regardless of release. The backend is more than I remembered from the Original, again mite be because of the factory shine. The carry and hit is exact to the Original, this ball rolls very strong on the backend which greatly improves carry.
I love fast revving low Rg pearls! The versatility and consistancy makes this ball playable on almost anything. This ball is the better version of the V2 Pearl.
