Title: Should I get rid of anything?
Post by: agroves on July 14, 2004, 06:30:08 AM

Tournament stuff:
Super Carbide Bomb (Cg axis)
Columbia Black Messenger (Urethane)
Roto-grip Sonic X (axis past pin, neg weight)

League Stuff:
Danger HPD (5 x 4)
Shock Zone Pro (4 3/8 by 3 3/8)
Werewolf
Time Zone (pin 4 3/4, mb on val)
Morich Ravage (pin 2 1/2, mb at 6)
Inferno (original) 4 1/2 by 3 1/2
Ebonite Shamrock

Misc:
Faball Sledgehammer
Ebonite 8 Ball

The 8 ball is ready to drill, which I will get around to some day.  I was thinking of retiring my HPD, even though it still hooks and hits well.  The Inferno is a favorite.  I haven't thrown the SCB and tossed the Sonic X very little.  I was thinking about an Intense but I don't see a use for it.

I don't know all of your equipment well, but it looks like to much medium to med/heavy stuff.  I'd drop one or two and bring something for lighter oil, unless you rarely see it.  Maybe redrill something for some flip.  I like CG out drills myself, but not on everything.

What is the drilling on the Sonic X?  Axis past pin?  I don't know what you mean by that.  You say negative weight.  Is the pin and/or CG on the left side of your grip?  Pin in your track?  Is the Sonic X too weak to play on you normal league shot if they break down?

Thanks for the reply Strider.  I have the covers setup like this:

SCB-sanded
HPD-sanded
Shock zone-polished
Werewolf-sanded
Ravage, TZ, Inferno, Ravage all polished

I was thinking about a Power Groove.  The drill pattern on the Sonic X is different.  My axis point is about 2" from the pin.  It is almost cg axis, but not quite.  It is early and controllable.   I could drill the 8 ball with the pin 6" from my axis.

PS I like cg out b/c I can control the reaction.  I am not much for the huge flip.

Hey, how'd that get there?  Doesn't your HPD sanded and polished Shock look kind of close?  I'd let the Werewolf go just cause it's a little older and I'd hold off on the 8 ball, s/b pretty close to the Time Zone in reaction.

Rick,

The HPD and Shock Zone are very close.  That is why I keep one sanded and one polished.  I am NOT getting rid of my werewolf, not my 800 ball.  I love the reaction I get from it.

I would part ways with the Messenger.
