Charcoal Executioner
« on: January 18, 2004, 11:50:31 PM »
Has anyone ever thrown a Charcoal Executioner? I was looking at ALOT of different balls, and I came across this little beauty, and it seems EXACTLY perfet for what Im looking for. I was looking for a Medium-Heavy to Heavy oil ball, with good length, and snappy backend, and as it seems, this ball has exactly that. But has anyone ever thrown one? What is it like? And how was yours drilled?

I can't speak for Livespive but my Charcoal was the farthest thing from snappy and it didn't like conditions above medium.

My ball was drilled practically label with the pin next to the ring, CG more or less in grip center, and the MB neck close to strong position.

Now whether or not the ball was rolling out is up for question because I had more than enough oil rings on the ball letting me know there was oil on the lanes.  I didn't do any cover stock alterations so it's possible the ball was at a higher grit than 600.

The reaction shape of my Charcoal was very smooth arc, almost control like, very even from start to finish.

With that low RG and solid matte resin it might be a little hard for this ball to be snappy, but it's possible you can get some aggression out of the backend.

You Rang lol

I would call the backend more of a hard arc.
The ball gets good length and if it polished
it will turn hard on the back end, but not snap.
The green Gargoyle is what you want for snap.

I have mine drilled up label leverage, cg in the center
of the grip, which puts the mb in more of a weak position.
In my research I was told to stay away from strong drillings on this ball.

I haven't had any problems with carry down or over/under.  The only problem
I had was it burning up when I first got it.  I couldn't use it in box condition, until I took it to nationals.  Once I got home, I polished it
and it has been good to me.

I love mine so much that I am getting ready to order 2 more (happy dance lol)
For me, it was the shape of the core.  I was looking for something to replace my
Rhino Pro T2, and this is the closest that I have come literally.  I am also going to get a Crimson to replace my old Rhino Pro X.
