Spike,

I actually sold the Cell and roughed up the Gladiator Solid with a 1000 abralon pad. I am hoping that ball will take over for my Cell for now. I have some more new stuff coming as it gets released..

I will make sure to give you 1st dibs on the Gladiator Solid if I sell it!! gsback already has dibbs on the Gladiator Pearl but I really like that ball so far, just need to get used to the violent back end reaction that ball has..

PS: Nice lineup by the way, between you and Gary, you guys are the new spokesman for Visioanry stuff!!

No Greenie?!?

I personally love the Gargoyles (as they are what sold me on Visionary). I throw the Green, Granite, and Slate Blue (and am about to plug/drill 1 of my clear too). I never purchased a Violet, because I figured it'd be too close to my Cuda/C, which has been a mainstay in my bag since '97. I must say, that I have matched up better to the Gargoyle line than a lot of other popular equipment lines over the years (Columbia Reaction and Messenger lines, Storm X-Factor line, Brunswick Zones to name a few). The Gargoyles hit and carry like mad, and have gotten a lot of attention from others at the alley in years past and present...like the insane backend reaction of the Green, how smooth the Slate Blue is for me as a spare ball, and then of course people asking why I throw a round piece of concrete. I've put MANY games on all three, and wouldn't trade them in for the world.

PS...the more I typed on here about how much I love them, the more I'm thinking about ordering a Violet on Monday....ugh! what does the fiance say....like I need a hole in the head, right?!?  

****ON EDIT**** I looked at the pics, and realized that there IS a Greenie in the mix (was wondering why you had 4 pics of the Slate Blue...LOL! I must ask though, the one plugged finger on the Violet, was someone practicing swirls in plug (which is an art if mastered)?

Big Willy, I did the same thing.  I looked at the Greenie and my first thoughts were that Spike roughed the surface up.  And then I remembered he still had the Greenie (instead of already shipping it to me....which he should have done!!)

I agree on the Violet.  That ball really is a well rounded ball.  Close to the overall performance of my High-Rev....not as strong perhaps, but more well rounded!!
