Well first of all I am on Global's advisory staff.
So I try and keep my arsenal up to date with what they have in the current lineup.
Last year I started out the season with both a Longshot and a Favorite with exactly the same layout.
Each had a 3 inch pin with very similar top weight.
The Longshot was probably 2 or 3 boards stronger overall than the Favorite but had a tendency to be a little squirty on carrydown.
So I knocked the shine off of the Longshot with a 4000 abralon pad.
Took care of the squirtiness.
As to why I punched a Wisdom to replace a Favorite.
I like 6 inch pin layout's.
For whatever reason they roll vary well for me.
With this in mind I did my Wisdom 6 inch pin.
The Favorite also is a 6 inch pin with a Bean's finish on it.
This will be for very late blocks in tournaments.
I hope this helps.
You can pm me if you need more info.
I would imagine that a Jewel would be a replacement for the Longshot but Nickonaut or Eric T. might answer this question better.
Almost all things are better when they come from Texas.Except maybe the USBC. LOL
