Ladies and gentlemen,
I am happy to report that my quest to create a Visionary arsenal for next year's THS season is going well. I have a Centaur AMB Solid, Ogre Pearl (purple) and G3 Gryphon on the way. Based on the little bit I've seen/heard/read, here's how I see them shaping up:
Medium-heavy to heavy (not soup) - AMB Solid
Standard mediums w/clean backends - Ogre pearl
Skid/snap on fresh or drying heads with light carrydown: G3
Now, I also have been approached about possibly picking up a Granite Gargoyle, Violet Gargoyle, Green Gargoyle and Charcoal Ex. My question is which of these, if any, do I really need? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking the Greenie might be good for when they really start to dry out as I know it's good for length. The Violet intrigues me as a benchmark ball as I like having a mild solid option. I don't really think I need the Granite, but I've owned three of them, and they're just great balls, so the possibility of picking that up interests me as well. Lastly, I've never thrown a Charcoal Ex., and although I'd love to try one, I'm just not sure I'd truly need it with the AMB already in the bag.
So, wise ones, this is why I come to you. I would like to know whether or not you agree with my assessment of the three I already have coming as well as which of the other four might be wise for me to bag. Thanks in advance for your input!
