Just because its ordered does not mean the release date will not be delayed..

I also spoke to Buddies yeaterday and they also told me both balls where delayed until mid February..

As far as who I talked to at Ebonite/Hammer, it was a very reliable source..

At this point, we will just wait and see when it is released..

Hmm, sounds to me like you are making some stories up, a very reliable source? Why not mention a name of who you spoke with, or did you not speak to anyone? Trying to "pretend" to be in the know. I will stick with my proshops realation with his supplier as they are usually in touch with the ball companies a little more.

Hey buddy, I am a very reputable user on here and I have never seen any of your posts prior to this one so please don't insinuate anything. Just because I didn't say who I spoke with, doesn't mean I am "making" stories up..  Thats what I was told and all I was doing is stating what I was told, period..

I also spoke with Tim at Buddies Pro Shop and he told me both balls where delayed until mid February.. They are one of the largest pro shops in the US so I would think they would have very good information..

But you never know what to believe.. I am hoping the ball is released next week as I want one pretty bad!!

No offense, it looks UGLY though.
I like the look of the ball!!  It reminds me of a V2, but with a few more colors in it...nothing wrong with that!

The One:  GB10.7 - 10.7 Grams Per Hour

The Big One: GB11.2 - 11.2 Grams Per Hour

I'd guess a more pourus resin, for more traction...

jkiser,
  I am only going by the guy I deal with.  He says I can pick my ball up on sunday of next week.  Told me he could order it on monday and everything.  I dont know how maybe he has someone on the inside or maybe its just one those situations that I cant explain.  I just know what I was told.  Now could it be wrong maybe but rightn now I have never been let down yet by him so all things are go.

Ronald Hickland,

I have a one with less than 75 games and after about 35 or 40 I cleaned it, took it down to 180 Abralon up to 4000 Abralon w/o polish which all I did out of the box is break off the pollish and yet the ball dosen't seem to read the lanes as well and jump off the spot like it did out of the box.

any suggestions?

Thanks
