Gargoyle
« on: January 30, 2007, 09:41:53 AM »
I've owned the Granite, the Slate and briefly the violet. I just bought the green and can't wait to throw it. Perhaps one of the best ball lines ever. I'm sad to seem them finally go.

I agree, although it was around for quite awhile.

It was around for at least 7 years.  I have a Green with the serial # saying it is from 2000.  I still use it and love it.  After 7 years and hardly no resurfaces (NONE), the ball is still a monster on those medium to light conditions.  The only difference is that the backend is a "touch" smoother off the dry than what it was out of the box.  Sad to see them go but looking forward to the Ogre line just the same.

The greenie is a monster on the backend! The ball is super clean and then wham! left turn. It's too much right now. I'm going to take it to 4000 abralon and triple coat it with control it. Drilled pin over ring finger with no weight hole.

With the 4000 abralon and several layers of control-it, the GG is a much more controlable ball for me. It is still skid flip, but it is now useful on the oil volumes that I see. This is a surprisingly strong cover and core for its age.

We bought up the last of the Gargoyle around our distributors, and we will be listing them on the site shortly.  If anyone is interested, please check it out.
