A new Gargoyle is on the loose!

Check this out!

Well, I'm not one for pink, but I guess it's nice to see they're bringing back a solid reactive that can remind us of the DC Tour. It's a about time they give us a solid reactive Gargoyle. Anyone else think that this one has winner written all over it?

Gene, if you spent any time at Tony's site you would know that it's "Cheyenne Red."

BTW, this may tempt me to try some Visionary stuff.  Just what I need, more bowling balls.

Yeah I think so.
I always thought there was something missing beteween
the granite, and the green.  You had to do to much
cover work to land in the middle.

All they need now is a urathane Executioner.

I've been very happy with the Granite and the Slate Blue to cover the extreme opposite ends of my ball lineup.  This new one might be a good choice to squeeze into the lineup somewhere in the middle--especially if it's cheap like the others.  What's the pricing look like?

The color is very reminiscent of the infamous Blazing Violet 3D Offset Hammer--assuming that it actually looks like that picture.

I just got a message that BrianN replied to this post, but I'm not seeing it.  Is it visible to all but me?

Maybe he deleted it already.

that's a really big gap when it comes to fitting. This will likely be a bit less than the Charcoal Excutioner(which was always a little too strong for me)

Should be a good mid-price winner, maybe something like a erase-it.

Whelp,

I had went out of my way to get the Centaur when in fact I should have waited for this baby.  Oh well, back to the pro shop for more...seeing this is just what I was looking for to fit in between my Green Gargoyle and Blue Gryphon.

Anthony, for me the Centaur falls below the Blue Gryphon in hooking ability.  I dont have a Green Gargoyle any longer so cant compare to that.  The Centaur has more length, less backend than the Blue Gryphon.

I am hoping that the new Gargoyle will fit above the Blue Gryphon.

Livespie.. With the new catalog what about a Particle Pearl Gryphon ?


Yeah, maybe that too.

With the differences in cores in the Gryphon line, I don't know if it
is necessary.  Meaning look at the Gargoyle, and Executioner line.
The cores are the same shape through out the line.  In the gryphon line
the blue sparkle is different.  That was the only thing I didn't like about that
line.

Has anyone got the RG and diff numbers on this one yet?  I'm not going to make any assumptions based on the fact that the core looks like the other Gargoyles' cores.

How does www.bowlingballreviews.com get new balls up so fast?  Visionary's site
doesn't even have this one up yet.
