Need some advice please.
« on: February 01, 2017, 06:13:42 PM »
Ok.  I've retired all of my equipment except for a Warrior Elite (surface changed to 4000 Abralon) and a plastic spare ball.  I need one more ball to fit under the Elite and I'm thinking about the GB-2 MVP or the GB-2.  I don't mind a polished ball but I don't want a pearl.  The Track Heat X-Treme might also be an option.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Would like to stay in the Ebonite family.

Thanks.

Any Gamebreaker, Rebel Solid, Heat X-Treme, Side Swipe Solid, Kinetic Emerald could all work. That's quite a large hole that could easily be two balls to fill. Out of those though, I would personally go Rebel Solid or a Gamebreaker 2 Phenom if I had to avoid pearls.

If you're only carrying two strike balls and a spare ball I would go with something fairly weaker than the Warrior Elite. Not sure you would see enough of a step down in going to a Game Breaker Phenom, Rebel Solid, or Heat X-Treme. Those all have pretty strong coverstocks.

The Kinetic Emerald sounds like the best bet. I'm hoping to get my hands on one eventually. A Sideswipe Solid or Gamebreaker 2 MVP would fit as well. Lots of people like the Viral Solid as something in that mold too.

Thanks to all that replied.  I'm thinking the Gb-2 or the GB-2 MVP might be the best choice as it should give me some separation from the Elite. 

Thanks again.

I have the sideswipe solid,the kinetic and several GB2 pieces
the sideswipe solid is a great piece, and I like it it because its predictable
the kinetic has a quicker responding cover, the GB2 phenom pearl has a strong cover which can be a bit less forgiving for me if I don't release it quite right
the GB2 solid is an earlier rolling, very predictable benchmark ball, surface is easily tuneable
and its 115 bucks most places
Sideswipe solid or GB2 would be my choice
