I demoed the Pitch Blue last Thursday, and was very impressed. I like the roll and tip better than the Natural or my Blue Hammer which were both nice balls. As for banning urethane, resin balls with surface blow up a pattern much worse than carrydown from resin impacts it. Not sure why it would even be an issue on a house shot. If you cant adjust and take advantage of a little hold area that may be created by plastic or urethane, you aren't much of a player.
