Trying a Saw
« on: December 01, 2003, 08:35:49 PM »
Hi Buzzheads,...

You've seen me on the boards here...you've seen me very neutral to Lane 1.  Not sure I'm on board with all the hype, but I've never tried one either....well, my time has come !  I've acquired 2 pieces on trade and want opinions on each.

Pro Purple
Silver Diamond

What conditions do these balls fit best, your thoughts on them and the drills you have / used ?

Where can I find the specs on the Ppurple ??

Thanks......

Hi Buzzhead, no, not yet.......haven't arrived yet.....tomorrow they come and any drilling adjustments will be done then.  Sounds like the spans is just barely longer than my current span, but not enough where I think I'll feel a difference....we'll see tomorrow.  Trust me, I'll report out...!

By the way, last Tuesday before league, a guy from this site (Clarence...can't remember his screen name...) showed me his Silver....(he's a lefty)....I grabbed it, and the span was really close to mine,...thumb was a little big, but who cares, I asked if I could throw it, he said sure,....long and strong!! I dropped it too, & he's a lefty, so it had a negative pin on it.....really responds off the dry....

I'm looking forward to see how these balls fit my game.......more to come

Just stumbled on this post this morning .. I can offer nothing relative to the original question .. however I have to note that CHARLEST did a fantastic job .. If I was looking for data on one of those balls .. I think CHARLEST would have answered all my questions .. CHARLEST .. good to have you around!

Jeff,

I simply love my Pro Purple.  Like T-god, it is virtually the 1st thing out of the bag.  Mine is drilled 2.5x5 and it is religiously sanded with cerium to a nice dull shine.  It is so early and so smooth.  I use it all the time in my sport league. Well, except for last week, I used the new Nugget.  Not quite as early but more continuation.  Back to the Pro Purple, It has saved me many times.  I used to try and replace it and it always found its way back in my bag.  So now it just stays there.  I had a silver and with the pin over the bridge and it was really loooong and snappy.  Conditional for me.  It did not roll as good as my original cherry pearl, so it left.

thanks Snakes,........

I'm glad I found one....never had a control type ball.  I have a Sonic X Solid which I love, but it's usually for 'lighter' oil,...so this will fit the bill!!
I hope
