Like most of the other videos once the fresh surface goes away the ball looks very reactive. Once again most of the videos have right handed bowlers throwing this ball around 4th or 5th arrow on house conditions. That is no different from most of the equipment available.
This is why I was thinking of the Hopkinsville Purple Hammer because of the very motion you're describing. The Reynosa pours don't have that kind of motion, despite as good as they are. I'd love to see a comparison between the NU Blue and the Hopkinsville Purple.
The bigger comparison is for the pros that are going to be using this on their conditions since for non pros at nationals etc have urethane options. Pros will likely have to have twice as many of the blue to compete and keep fresh surface vs the urethane since the ball shines up so fast with any kind of volume.
I've seen a couple of comparisons with the Purple (Reynosa) on Cheetah, and while a bit more off the spot than the Purple, it still looks controllable. But again, it will be as if we have a Yukon Gold potato, and are tying to get to as close to it as we can, but we only have a Dutch Yellow, Russet, Fingerling, and a Kennebec. Each are potatoes but have a slightly different feel and texture.
Great marketing. The ball is already killing it on sells. Actual need in the bag for most will likely be less of an impact.
Agreed. Personally, I'm trying to simply think of if it will fit, based on motion. I have the Black Widow Purple Pearl Urethane (Hopkinsville), so I have a more rolling urethane option; I'm not registered with the PBA, so the Purple Urethane is an option, but because of its front to back motion, would overlap with the Widow. But compared to the Hopkinsville Purples, that side to side urethane-like motion may be possible..
