Ball Choice
« on: March 20, 2008, 10:21:02 AM »
Hi Roomies,

Clearing out some old gear for some new Legends/LM equipment. I currently throw a combination of gear - LM Buzz, LM Big Bang, Vis Charcoal Ex and Hammer Pearl Widow being the main 4 lately, use a blue-green centaur for the burn.

I'm picking up a Hornet for the burn in the next few days, what I'm asking is recommendations for the other end. I would like something to fit in between the Big Bang & the Buzz - I have the following choices, The Sting, World Class P/P, XS Power, and Black Pearl.

I realise that without my stats etc its hard to recommend anything, so I will do my best to give you guys my stats - Right handed tweener, with medium ball speed, 15-17 revs (sorry dunno how to convert to the hundreds used now), pap is 5 inches across 1/2 inch up and axis tilt can vary from 30-40 degrees.

I also have an opportunity to pick up a Masterpiece with only about 20-30 games on it. What are your thoughts on this ball as we don't see many of them in Australia.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Black Pearl, hands down..  I would also look at the new Counter Strike.

I'm actually thinking of getting the Hornet, the Masterpiece and one of the others I've mentioned

masterpiece is one of my favorite legends balls of all time.. from your choices i would get a black pearl.. its super adjustable.. you can polish it or sand it with ease. i did not like the xs power.. it actually kept the pins too low.. it kind of swallowed the pins  like a funnel towards the pit and didnt get that much pin action. (weird analogy i know sorry.)
