Got a RED hornet on the way.
« on: June 28, 2007, 02:15:15 PM »
After speaking with Galen, i had him contact the guys in the booth & have them give me a call.  They called me up & the red was only $20 more after shipping than the cheapest ive found the green for on the net.

Also, someone said its a solid, its not.  According to the people in the booth, as well as Galen, its still a pearl, just looks solid.  The only difference is color.

Why do i care what color is it you ask?  Well, for 1 i hate green, for 2, i LOVE having something just a bit different, & for 3, i tend to bowl well with red balls.

Galen says the red should hook just a TOUCH more than the green, due to the extra dye that has to be used to get red to show up nicely.

Galen suggested a 4x5 drilling for the green, i think im gonna tweak it just a bit & drill it identical to my world class particle, which is a 4.5x4(ceegeenomaddah).  I will then throw a few games with it & tweak the reaction to my liking with a xhole.

Ill post pics when i get it.

ROFL, i didnt catch the puns that could be made until u made 1.

As for never hitting light oil, ive got a TJ layout TNV, its been my weakest ball for a while.  Ive since switched centers & started going to a few tournaments.   Even on FRESH oil, i havent been able to get right of 20 at the arrows unless i REALLY flatten the ball out.

On these conditions, i would really like to be able to play 15-10, or maybe even *GASP* up 10 with the hornet.

According to ups, the ball wont be here until thursday, which sucks....cause ive got a tournament on weds.

Come over and let me give you a swift kick in the balls then. LOL

I was pretty damn close to buying one at Nationals. I admit now that I should have, but I rarely see light enough oil to validate me buying one.

Let us know how it works for ya, Kinalyx!

I have the green and have to say that the pearl green is $$$$. The green is far more unique than a red ball.
