Think I should do it?
« on: August 15, 2004, 01:41:32 PM »
That is, replace my Thing Returns with a XXX factor.  I don't know, I'm just not "feeling" it with the Thing returns, you know?  I haven't really connected with it, doesn't seem to suit me.  I was thinking about a XXX factor instead of it, which makes my arsenal as follows...

Diesel Particle
Thing Returns---> XXX factor
Power Groove Reactive
Spare

I also think the XXX would fit better between the PG and diesel, more than the thing returns does.

Any comments?  Is it a good idea?  Anyone else ever had a ball that just doesn't "connect" with them?

Hey, I am planning on getting a triple x for medium as well. I am planning on using a animal untamed on medium/heavy then triple x medium then power groove for light. Is triple x stronger then untamed? LMK. Thanks.

HB, I've already plugged the thumb to reduce the span, and I don't wanna plug and redrill a second time for a new layout, since it'd lose a lot of value.  I should mention the pitches and such aren't correct since the "pro" shop here doesn't measure anything.  I haven't drilled the PG yet, and I picked up the diesel single drilled, so I'll be able to drill and throw them correctly.  Oh yeah, and the layout I have on the thing is one of my favorites....

So basically, I'd rather start off with something new than plug/redrill another time......not to mention I wanted something stronger than the TR anyways.  I have to resort playing straight up 5 with slower ball speed with the TR.

Yeah Bob, that's kind of what I was hoping.  I've seen BK's triple X, and I liked the looks of it, especially after he's thrown my thing returns.

PS- I'm gonna keep the diesel dull around 6-800, and if I get the XXX, I'll have it polished in case there's overlap.  The diesel will be my "control"-heavier oil ball.

Well, I don't see floods often, but the outside oil can get heavy sometimes.

Well, I suppose I'll get the XXX and see what happens from there.....Unless someone tells me I'm making a huge mistake.
