Teal THS RETRO Review
« on: April 07, 2008, 01:11:08 AM »
Thanks to my boys once again for the Teal tester and the awesome gift to the house as well. I sell alot of balls from many companies, and no other company comes even anywhere close to the great service I get from these guys. The company is good people period.

Starting specs- 15.2 pin 2.5" top 2.2.

Drilling- 4 3/4x 4   pin under ring cg out  no weight hole.

lanes- synthetics THS 39 ft blended crown. EASY typical house shot. (THS)

I wanted to try this ball on the THS since it was named for that and supposed to be for this exact condition.

 I was comparing it to my HRG side by side and figured that would be the best ball to compare it to on this shot.

The Teal is smooth off of the dry but has a hard arcing backend. It was earlier on the lanes than the HRG cause of the solid cover vs. the pearl.

 It revs up easy off of your hand but still has enough length to play the THS.

I wanted to try and square up on the THS so I took it and put it on the spinner w/o a cover change and just hit it with some of Lane 1's sauce. This was perfect Now I could get outside of where most of the guys would be playing and have something hopefully all to myself.

I havent thrown an og Teal in years so it would be hard for me to compare, but this THS Teal seems to be just the ball I was looking for, especially after I shined it up.

My leagues are all done so I will throw it in some upcoming tournaments and give more feedback after that.
