Hustle Ink VS Hustle Ink - Video
« on: September 29, 2017, 03:44:56 PM »
I got the video done for the comparison between my first Ink and the new Ink and here it is!  Tried a few new video effects, I think some of them are a little distracting and not too great, but this is the best place to experiment, so let me know what you think pleeeeaaase. Thanks for watching!

Love the INK!  This ball is definitely a gem, so smooth and versatile.  Great video!

Can you post a couple pics of the layouts for both balls?

I bought the Hustle Ink because your video caught my attention.  Then I started looking at the stats. They are identical to my all time favorite, the original Lane 1 Tsunami.  That ball was smooth and hit a ton.  Never overreacted.  I haven't found a decent polished solid oob since then.

I threw the Hustle Ink for the first time last night and thought it was 2005 again.  I was afraid it wouldn't make the turn, especially since we got a pair with a sloppy backend.  I was wrong.

This ball is predictable and forgiving.  I have needed a ball that doesn't make me pay full price for a missed transition but is strong enough to use on fresh at this house.  I think i finally found it.  Thanks for the heads up on this ball Luke.

Loved the end of this video btw.  Hilarious.

Nice comparison, you were long overdue for a video. I wish I had a spot in my bag to put it, unfortunately my end pieces are all set.

I know right?  Just nothing has come out for a couple months.  I do have a kind of secret one coming out tomorrow . . nothing super special, but my opinion video is hilarious if I do say so myself.

No, the Code Red frustrates me from time to time, it's just a little too lazy sometimes. 

Yes, and it was tragic on both.  It made the Exist even smoother and slower, and it turned the Show Off into a mess.  Show Off cover is way too strong for that core, the cover is exactly what it has going for it, it just got really pukey with polish.  It needs to stay at box and get used on floods where having traction and shape is needed.  It's definitely got a place, that place doesn't show up very often though.

Lol so here's the thing.  I'm absolutely and totally against layout pictures, like almost unreasonably so.  Layout without a PAP number means nothing.  The dual angle numbers are universal, where my fingers are at on the ball means nothing without knowing what my PAP is or basically where I track at.  I did a video a long time ago showing how the same layout can look very different for people with different PAP numbers or who track in different places.  The only thing a layout picture can do is confuse or mislead someone.  If someone sees my layout, and drills their fingers in the same place, but their PAP is 4 over and 0 up/down, they're going to get a surprise because all the sudden that layout is way stronger for them than it is for me, and I don't want to contribute to misinformation or even just the idea that a picture of a layout means anything at all.  With the proper information it can, but people don't look at the information, they look at where the holes are at and ignore the actual important stuff.  Now if it's just a general curiosity on where that layout puts the holes for me, sure, cool, but 95% of the people are wanting to see where my holes are at so they can copy it.  I give them the dual angle numbers and they say, "no, I want to know where the holes are at so I can use the same layout."  . . . . . . .

LOL...It would be cool to show your specs, layout numbers, photos, and a disclaimer. If people are foolish on here just to put their holes based on the photos than that's tough chit on their part if it rolls like crap. Luke, I do appreciate the time you take doing the videos as well as your insight.

Thanks
Tom

Actually getting ready to address it in a video now!  Might not be up until tomorrow, but taking care of it now.

Luke - How would you say the 5.25 pin Hustle compares to the Hy-Road Pearl? I'm assuming the 4' pin @2k one is earlier and smoother.

Yes, and it's funny you ask because I actually throw all 3 of them quite a bit.  Hyroad Pearl is a bit more aggressive overall, not QUITE as clean at the breakpoint, 5.25 Ink has a bit more shape too it and is a bit longer.  Actually the 4 pin isn't really smoother, have to remember with that low of a differential, it still doesn't flare a ton, so when it gets to the breakpoint, the core is still in a really strong position, so it's actually a bit firmer at the breakpoint.  The longer pin just doesn't quite flare enough for it to really fly on the backend.

Interesting. I might go 4" instead then. I just didn't want too much overlap with the Hy-Road Pearl.
