Uranium only gets a 40 in BTM??
« on: February 27, 2004, 09:22:47 PM »
Ok, now I am really confused.  I haven't read the
review, just saw the numbers, and the Uranium only gets
an overall hook rating of 40?  I read that the Uranium
is a medium to medium-heavy ball; and that is from Lane 1.

The Activator coverstock is an aggressive one, right?  I mean
the lowest Inferno number was 44 for the Blazing Inferno.

I was all set to get a Uranium, until I read this.  Now I
am very confused.

I was also very surprised at the rating the ball received in BTM but again let's remember their testing criteria and they have "goofed" before.

As for my experiences thus far. My Emerald is drilled much more aggressive (4x4)than my Uranium (5-1/2x3-1/2) but the Uranium has a better look for me. My 4x3 Golden Nugget is a great ball as well but I have never seen a ball turn the corner like the Uranium. revs hard and then shoots off the dry...even with my drilling on it.

I would say BTM has some rerating to do.

As for BrickGuy's game....we worked hard on getting his stuff to work properly and he is in love with the Emerald and now the Bugget is working well for him but the Uranium is a different drilling for him than the others. Perhaps the drilling has a lot to do with what he's seeing.

Give one a try...the ball is awesome guys....

jjlamoroso,

What is it about the truth that so rubs you the wrong way? You can't handle the truth, relative or absolute, if it disagrees with your personal point of view. Is that it? Pity.

I emailed Lane#1 and they are the ones who said it was a resin pearl, not I. So you are calling your beloved Lane#1 experts "stupid" and a "liar". What does that make you?

- end of story.
