Executioners, what do you think
« on: July 29, 2004, 08:14:05 PM »
I am in the process of building an all executioner arsenal.
Before they stop making the crimsons, I am thinking about getting
a few.

My question is:

Comparing the Crimson and the Charcoal (or solid, and pearl of any companies ball)

If both were drilled the same(Label leverage) and I polished the Charcoal to the same finish as the Crimson (1500) would the two give me the same reaction?

What I am think about is if they will, I won't even worry about getting another
crimson, I'll just make the arsenal out of all Charcoals.

Yeah,

I have heard that sanding a pearl is not as effective a polishing a solid.

My thinking on this is that I like my 315
Charcoal, but I noticed this summer in my sports challenge league
I would wish that my 315 had a little more surface.

I am thinking about having 3 (or maybe just two)315 Charcoals allong with one more (either label leverage, or stacked leverage) then my PIE.

The only other ball that I have had that acts this consistantly was my Rhino PRo T2 (and they don't make that anymore )

I've had all three Executioners, drilled them the exact same way and made the cover exactly the same on all 3.  So I may be able to give some input on this.

The Crimson and The Charcoal are similiar in movement but on different oil conditions.  The Crimson handles medium-lights to lights very well, but when thrown against some oil it just can't handle it.  The Charcoal moves much better on mediums and medium heavy's, but is way too much for dries.

The Purple Ice, Well, it's a soup ball, but when polished to that degree, can handle medium's between the two quite well actually.

SO is the charcoal still to much when polished to 1500 like the Crimson?

I'm almost thinking about just Charcoals.  I haven't found anything dry enough that my 1000 polish 315 can't handle

Eric, right now I have a Crimson drilled pin above ring finger, cg stacked below, and a charcoal drilled pin above and to the right of my ring finger, cg stacked below. Crimson box condition and the charcoal polished with storms 3000 grit diamond polish. Synthetic lanes, 28ft buffed to 36, ths. On the fresh shot the crimson is perfect, but as soon as I get any carrydown I switch to the Charcoal, stay in the same area and keep scoring. I love the Charcoal but even at 1500 grit it is a lot of ball at my house. When I go to my hometown on wood lanes the Charcoal at 1500 is a monster.
