Title: least amount of balls
Post by: chitown on February 13, 2006, 07:41:23 AM
Which exempt pro do you feel uses the least amount of balls during the season?  I wonder which guy actually keeps a ball and puts a lot of games on it.

Walter Ray. Have heard a could of Reps say that he might use a ball for 4-5 months sometimes if he likes the reaction. The Columbia/Track rep stated at a recent seminar the average pro drills 1-2 new balls a week. Ones making the show maybe 5-8 as the show usually plays much different and you want to have bases covered on both side of the hook scale of intended equipment.

On the other hand, I read an article by Walter Ray not too long ago in which he stated something to the effect that during the practice session he often has to go out to the truck and dig through the 35-45 balls he carries with him to every tournament.

Not 100% sure if that is the exact number, but it says something to me that Walter Ray does not mind going through a ball or 20 in a month.

I guess it depends on how well he is doing. Have also heard he has been fishing alot as the transition has not been favorable in most cases so i guess i would be punching up alot more to try to figure it out.
