The Original Carbide...
« on: October 28, 2003, 04:54:14 PM »
was is for Heavy Oil? The reason why I'm asking is because I have a chance to get it at a ridicously good price. I just need something to get back into the game right now and I've found this place that has the Original Carbide for sale. Um...if I'm not mistaken, it has a navy blue coverstock and "Carbide" is printed in yellow. So, please get back with me on some replies ok? Thanks again.

This ball will be good on medium to upper/heavier mediums.  It's dependant on the drilling layout and coverstock prep how much "heavy" oil the Solid Carbide can handle.

It was released as a heavy oil ball.It has since been surpassed in that catagory by many other balls.That said,the Cabide is my bench mark ball and one of the most versitle balls I have ever thrown.The move to the pocket is steady and very predictable.An absolute flood or Sahara condition will force the Carbide into the bag, but every condition in between is easily handled.
 If you want a truly heavy oil ball a Super Carbide or A Carbide Bomb is a better choice.If you decide to pass on the Carbide and it is 15# kindly email me the seller's info so I may purchase this excellent ball.This is a true classic and I'm always looking for chance to add to my reserves.

So, would a Blueberry or Cranberry be just as strong or stronger than a Carbide?

Given similiar drillings the blueberry(sanded) would be just as strong as the Carbide.
