Blue gryphon comparison-I need info
« on: September 01, 2004, 04:36:27 AM »
Compare the blue gryphon to other visionary balls you have throw, ie charcoal executioner,g3,burgundy gryphon.

 Thinking about getting this, but I have no info on it or what to expect when compared to these balls that I DO have.

More like a pearlized Blue Warlock.

Good description.  If you are not familiar with the Blue Warlock since it has been discontinued for a while, see if this helps:

Blue Gryphon goes longer than either the Charcoal Ex or the Burgundy Gryphon with a milder or mellower backend and overall hook.  It seems to be more for a lighter medium pattern for me.  Very consistant in its reaction, it doesnt seem to over-react when it hits the dry.  I can use it on medium or heavier medium patterns by squaring up more and tightening up the line.  It struggles a bit on carrydown.

Again, this is only my experience with it and someone with more revs or speed may have a different opinion.  I have not thrown the g3 so no comparison there.
In rating the balls from heavier to lighter oil, I would say:  Burgundy, Charcoal, Blue Gryphon.
