Finally.. yeah the HRG's are going to last long.. since they don't read the oil at all.. it's like a ball on water. I've seen scouts and power grooves read the midlane better.. and that's not a bashing statement.. that's a fact!

OK, this is an interesting topic that I have just sat back and read for the most part. However, this statement is strictly opinion. Having thrown alot of balls including Power Grooves and Scouts (Which is Columbia BTW), this is jus tsimply not the case. I can play mine in OOB surface anywhere on the lanes I want to depending in the hand position and release/speed. With mine drilled pin under ring and CG out with 1/2oz side and 1/2oz top, mine readds the mids just fine. 244,278,278.....800 will attest to that, right along with 724,742 the last 2 weeks with it. Last night, struggling with the Paradiegm skating through the breakpoint, I used the HRG and moved 2 boards left (I am RH) and the ball read the mids where the Paradiegm was not. Just an example that your statment is an opinion, NOT A FACT!

That's funny. My HRG reads the mids just fine in OOB finish. So far, the reaction is every bit as good as day one. In fact, it seems to be BETTER than day one, since I have learned when and where to use it.

The ball I see dying on a regular basis this year is Ebonite The One that everybody went out and bought last year. Ebonite must know it, since it looks like they have gone with something completely different on the Total NV.

now i am confused, you are saying that if a ball doesnt read the mids it wont die, WTF is that?  dangerzone and pk18 are all about midlane. dude you cant have it both ways

purple fuze, yep i had one, was ideal for house shots and read the mids just fine, h20? no where near as long as a purple fuze, plus had the best of both big b stocks activator/pk18
