Hi All,

Special thanks to Jason for getting this piece out to me early.  I went with the same layout as my gladiator solid.

On Edit: PICTURES!

First off this thing is really sweet looking, this thing has great shelf appeal...everyone who saw it asked what i was throwing and that they really liked the colors...i will get pictures up later tonight

As far as reaction goes its exactly what i thought it would be...a longer more angular version of the gladiator.  The move it makes in the back reminds me of an Ogre SS, but a little more controllable.  It reads the midlanes much better than the SS also.  I was able to get in with it pretty easily and wheel it off the dry without a problem, as long as it saw dry it made a big move in the backend...

Like all polished pearls tho, carrydown was not its friend...im anxious to knock the polish off and see what it can do, but i like the OOB reaction alot so i may leave it alone for awhile and just let it track up and see what happens

In the end, it seems like a combination of the control of a gladiator with the backend motion of an SS...another great ball from V B P!

Look for a video in the next few weeks...

I was going to try to get one for Willow Creek upcoming next month.  4:1 flat pattern but I think my weaker drilled SS will do fine as there is not much carry down present.  

Nice review Britton!
