I just recieved the email from VBP on the New Gladiator LE it has a bleeded cover stock and the same mohawk core. Its main purpose is for drier condition.

I will load some pics later.

Yea ,i am interested in the cover also. Jason just responded to my inquiry and my order is being placed.

This could be a great ball for late shifts / maybe even replace the Ogre Pearl.

I don't remember if he said it was already USBS approved or not.  But Thomas, if you are test staff.....can't see why you wouldn't be able to get one....no??

I don't know if I would say this would replace the Ogre Pearl.  I think the resounding sentiment was that the ball was a lot stronger than what people thought it would be.  

I think this would fit under the Ogre Pearl but above the Blue/Green in terms of lane use.

g thing is back....with a vengeance!!

My thinking.  Ogre Pearl smaller differential stronger cover.  Gladiator LE stronger differential but smooth movement weaker cover.
