The Black Cherry is most likely going to be like most solid reactives. It should grab the lane earlier than the Cherry and have more of an arc on the backend, rather than the snap. While I'm sure it will be a fine ball, I don' think that it can be nearly as good as the CB. The thing that made the
CB so great is that it was a pearl that could cover a very good amount of oil, provided the backends were clean. I think that Black Cherry is going to be just like a lot of solid reactives, just with better hit. Just my opinion. I guess we'll soon find out.

I see the Black Cherry being to the Cherry Pearl as the ER was to the trauma.

Get a little more bite in the mids and smoother breakpoint.

I cant wait!!!!!

themezz,
 Blockbuster dropships them. so they save some shipping costs. you do know what drop shipping is?

$10.00 means you get real inventory items not backorders via a middleman.

That is correct, Blockbuster does not stock the Buzzsaws, they just drop ship them.

Keep in mind that drop shipping also means that the seller never sees the ball AND cannot guarantee specs.

If I wanted to drop ship I could drop my price $10 too but I want to see the balls before I sell them. I have had a few balls from different companies have flat spots on them or the boxes were labelled wrong etc.

I like to be sure of what my customers are getting. If they want to save $10, no prob I can have it drop shipped but I cannot guarantee specs then.

Themezz, go buy from Buddies and Blockbuster. Who cares. I can't speak for Doug and Drill Wizzard, but I know that if I was one of them, it would make me happy to see you buy elswhere so that I wouldn't have to deal and listen to a whinner. Remember, you get what you pay for.........and unless I am mistaken, Blockbuster abd Budddies don't guarantee the exact Pin size and things like that. I believe their ad says something like "as close as possible." On balls that are dropped shipped, there is no way they can guarantee you the exact Pin size as they aren't there to open the box and check the ball. Ditto for flat spots and things of that sort as Doug pointed out......And do you think the factory is going to open a bunch of boxes trying to fine exactly what you want? Think again. If you want for example a 2" Pin, they are going to ship a box that says 2"-3" so the ball you get might have a 2" Pin and again it might be a 3" Pin......and the factory isn't going to open every box checking for flat spots or any other kind of defect, but the Pro Shop operator like Doug is going to check it out before shipping, I know, as I just bought a ball from Doug.

Gene,
I really wonder about that. Remember the core on this ball is VERY low RG, 2.49, and Huge RG Differential, .063 ot .071; that translates into 8" or more of potential flare. Unless that cover is very mild, this ball should have a huge and early hook, even drilled mild. Unless you place the pin at 6"+ or 2" or less, or have extremely low revs, this ball should flare a lot. What I am getting at is I think this will not be "like most solid reactives".

I don't know how this solid cover differs from the PK 18 of the ___berry (blackberry/blueberry/cranberry) balls, but if it's grabbier than the PK 18, it *should* be anything but standard!

To answer your question mezz, yes I do try open every box I get in. I did miss 1 of the old urethane Hammers I got in for someone the one day though. Compensation was made and that was it.

Most people who buy balls from me can verify this fact because I cross out the factory pin placement on the box and write in the EXACT pin placement when I get the ball.

Storm is notorious for longer than stated pins.  Severla of the X-Factor ReLoadeds I just got in said "2.5-3" on the box but when I opened them they were 3-1/4, 3-1/2 etc. I even had one marked 3-3.5 and it was a 4-1/8 pin!!!

So it pays to check things.

My reply to this post is not to bash Lane 1 but:

Every time I order a Lane 1 ball I ask for a 3-4 pin, every time I call Lane 1 and ask them to ship me a ball or call an on line pro shop to send me a ball with the specs I wanted, I always got a ball with a 2 inch pin.  I never got the 3-4 inch pin i was looking for.  That was the reason I started ordering bowling balls from Pchee2, he also looks at every ball for correct specs before shipping.  Pchee2 doesn't work with Lane 1 bowling balls so now I order from Drill Wizard or Doug and I will glady pay the extra 10 dollars to get a ball with the specs I requested.

V/R,
