Title: Black Diamond
Post by: elvismat on September 13, 2009, 10:23:48 AM

Looking to get one and not sure how to drill it.  I have the Black Pearl, pin up, Terminator stack, 2 Yeah Baby's, stack and pin under and Big R Bang, pin up and to the right.  I've made a lot of money with the Terminator and Black Pearl and wanted to get something newer and better.

I'm thinking to drill it pin above ring, my pap is 4 inch, with 3/8's up.  The Terminator is old, 600 + games and Black Pearl is around 400 +.  I like the Terminator, but for me, it doesn't like heavy oil and at times, my Black Pearl skates a little, if I move in and hit oil.

I know these two balls the best in the Legends line and I need comparisons, for those who have them and bought the diamond.

Also, give details of reaction, recovery and pin action.

Thanks!
Elvis...

See my reviews of both a Pin-Up version and a Pin-Down version of the Black Diamond on this site.
