Burgundy Gryphon
« on: December 21, 2008, 10:23:34 PM »
Just bought this gem from a trusted member here (mrbowlingnut) and was wondering if anybody had some thoughts on this one? Have read only good things about it as long as you had enough oil! Just wondering how it will compare with my Granite.

Similar ball motion for me as the Granite if both in OOB surface.  Used it on heavier lane conditions.  Not enough oil usually on most THS for me to use it unless I changed surface.

Mine got pretty good length for a particle.  I found it reacted just like the Blue Sparkle Gryphon but on more volumes of oil.  

I am speed dominant so I tend to start more direct using a small 12 to 7 board line.  It didn't react well for me if I started further inside unless I really slowed down my speed.

It makes a strong arching move down lane compared to a buddy's granite it wasn't as rolly but a good heavier medium ball choice.

If the heads start to wear this ball will probably start to melt at the arrows.  More often than not I lost the react and had to put the ball away.

If there was enough oil to use one here I'd get my hands on another.
