I received an email response
from Galen asking me to call him. I spoke with him this afternoon and he was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
He told me that they always have 3 or 4 balls they are working on. They are hoping to have 2 releases ready for January; one being the Straight Flush (nothing specific on the second one).
He said the SF was still being tested and was still not at the point of being ready.
We also spoke about their current line-up. I told him that when my NS2 and Kong were starting to overreact and I went to the Satisfaxion, sometimes that wasn't enough. It either skated past the breakpoint or overreacted on the back. That's where I was thinking a particle pearl would fit in. He told me that the Masterpiece would be the perfect transition ball.
I told him that the numbers seemed to have the MP and the Satis close to each other but he said the numbers were deceiving. He said that by hitting the MP with 800 grit to break the shine and then hit it with 1000 to give it a sheen I would for all intents have a particle pearl type of reaction and a perfect step down from the NS2/Kong.
I'll be calling the pro shop tomorrow
