Agent Orange
« on: December 17, 2009, 11:08:15 AM »
I might possibly have an Agent Orange coming my way from "Santa." Was curious as to what exactly to expect from it, and where it might possibly fit within what I have.

Currently have: Bounty, GT1, Red Fuze, Temper, Hype Urethane.

This ball will be your heavy oil ball.  it's gonna handle more oil than the rest.  Great distance in heavy oil as it is a pearl, but still reads the mids very well and stores plenty of energy for a booming backend with lots of carry and continuation through the deck.

Ball in box condition is 500 Ablaron and is way too much surface to make this ball useable on anything except heavy oil.  The surface adjust easily so i recommend taking the surface up to around 2000 Ablaron and you'll be able to use it on a wider range of lane conditions.  In box condition its a condition specific ball.  Adjust the surface, and the ball can handle the medium/medium heavy extremely well.

Sounds like a Bounty replacement then? I'm not entirely fond of the Bounty so that wouldn't be a problem.

You will have a great oil ball in the Orange.  I have the purple and its great.  Try and position the pin in 45 x 4-1/2 x 40 pattern with extra hole at P1 or not a all and you will have nice backend on any condition.  You may need some polish for a normal house shot.  The bomb core is fantastic.

I have mine drilled 5 x 3.5 (pin in ring) and have the surface at 800 grit+ Snake Oil polish, and it is a backend beast. I agree with most that oob is way too much on a house shot and most sport shots I have tried it on, but polished it is one of my very favorite balls!
