After much deliberation, I think I've finally settled on the 6 that will be making the trip with me.
The Break- 500 grit abralon
T Road Solid- 1000 grit abralon
Raw Hammer Anger- box finish, 2000 abralon
Epic Battle- smooth finish, no abralon, no polish
The Break Pearl- light polish
Ice Storm
Chose the T Road Solid over my Cell because the cover appears to hold a dullness a bit better than the Cell's does. Chose the Battle over my Neptune as it is a fantastic control ball now that it has a bit of oil in the cover and isn't the hook monster it once was. Still strong, but very even and predictable. I feel confident, and like I have a game plan, but as Mike Tyson once said "everyone has a game plan until you get punched in the mouth."
How I handle those first few "punches in the mouth" the Nationals pattern hands out will be the key I think. Will let you know how it turned out after next weekend.
