Blue Vibe - Coverstock?
« on: June 29, 2008, 12:09:26 AM »
This ball has a solid coverstock, correct? I did ask Jeff Ussery this question also, but he kind of confused me with what he said. duh to me.

Let me know soon, please! Thanks!

Well, maybe another day.. or maybe i'll just grab an Emerald Vibe now. I like the looks of the DOOM cover being on this ball.

Buddies still lists the Blue Vibe at $87 DELIVERED!
That's where I got mine.

It's actually not the DOOM cover.  It's the same cover that was on the purple vibe.  The Doom had the "enhanced max flip"

Oh, you're right. I didn't realize that.

Then what's the difference between the Purple and Emerald Vibe? All I can tell is different is their OOB surface. :/

I asked this question in a another thread and it was never answered...

My personal "conspiracy theory" opinion is a difference in cover stock. Either it's a tweaked purple's formula or the enhanced version from the doom. The general consensus  was that the purple was squirty on oil. After throwing my emerald I don't see any of those properties.

slap, thank you for your observation.

PM has been sent to Jeff Ussery. Let's see what I can find out. Once I find something out, i'll post a new thread about the Emerald for everyone.

I thought they tweaked the core numbers on the emerald vibe?

Nope, they're dead on the same. I'll be making a new thread about the Emerald later on today. I got the answer from Jeff Ussery himself, about the Emerald Vibe's coverstock.. I will say, it's pretty darn TWEAKED.. and reminds me of another green ball in their recently discontinued line-up..

This Max-Flip Reactive Pearl is the same coverstock that we used on the Toxic recently, and does include the Traction Pearl additive that gives the ball more grip with the lane surface in heavier and medium oil volumes.  If anybody has other questions, please feel free to e-mail me.  Thanks!

That is/was one of the best covers you guys made for a pearl, IMO, a shame it's not used again. Maybe in the future.

This is exciting news! I also thought toxic cover was highly adjustable. Mine spent a lot of time on the spinner and it rolled dull and polished.
