Small staff, takes a while to update the site. Yes you can order it if you are on test staff. We get advance notice.

Do we have any idea how strong this ball is going to be? I mean the XXL and Liberator from Lane 1 are way stronger than any urethane needs to be.

The Slate Bue Gargoyle was fairly weak compared to the Lane 1 urethanes.

Any idea where the Ogre is gonna fit in????

Doug,
I think that I remember Jason saying on here that it is a Hard Urethane with a "milder" core than the Slate Blue. I do not think that you will see near the backend reaction out of this Ogre as you do with the Gargoyle.

Bump to see if there's been any new info from people purchasing the ball.  I seem to remember a lot of people looking forward to the ball that haven't posted yet......

Still curious if anyone can compare actual ball reaction between Ogre and Gargoyle?

I have the Ogre Urethane drilled identical to my Blue Green Centaur. When I am going flush with the Blue Green, the Ogre Urethane is hitting the 2 pin FLUSH! Ogre is factory surface, Centaur is at either 2000 or 4000 abralon, no polish.

I had the Slate for a time, no comparison. The Ogre is CLEANER through the heads and needs friction to even think about turning over.

For what you said to take on meaning, you should tell us if you're right handed or left handed. The difference is significant.
