My Global bag (well, more than one bag)
« on: November 20, 2018, 11:46:47 AM »
Hi friends!

I wanted to share with you how my lineup is going to look coming up here soon, give you some reasons why I've chosen what I've chosen and take any questions you may have.

Drum roll please....

From top to bottom

Sumo SE @ 2000, 4*20
Dream On remake @ 2000, 50*5*65
Dream On original @ 4000, 60*5*40
Covert Ops OOB, 50*5*65
Honey Badger Claw OOB, 50*5*65
Honey Badger OOB, 60*5*40
X2 OOB, 4*20
Boost Hybrid OOB, 5*65
Shadow Ops OOB, 45*4*30
After Dark Pearl OOB, 5*65

So, top end of the bag. Why no Continuum or Eon? I usually see very limited use out of big shells. I'd rather sand something that's faster response than use something that may not see the lane how I want to see it.


Covert and no Tactical? For me, I have a preconceived notion on how a Break core should roll and what I like to see out of it. The Covert fits that to a T.

Honey Badger is a no brainier, and the Claw looks like a Hyroad Nano, only better.

X2 because I love my X. It's an absolute tank.

Didn't like how squirrelly my pearl Boost was, no matter the surface.

Shadow Ops, because urethane Break.

After Dark Pearl because I loved my Link and want another motion like it. :)

What does your Global bag look like?

What's your thoughts on the Sumo? So far that seems like the best alternative to the Idol when you factor in the cover strength

I have a Darkness and love it, and had an Incinerate and hated it. I'm looking for the Sumo to be the big flaring symmetrical ball in the bag. It's something I think I could use on a longer fresh pattern and be able to use it until I have to jump in and use something with a faster response. The Dream On is excellent for that. I could slot a Respect in there, but I know that I get along well with the On.

 Hey Doom,

Which ball would be the Global equivalent to the Storm Code Black?

Recently went all in this summer and came away with this:

Badger
Honey Badger
Boost Blue/Black
After Dark Solid

Covers mostly what I see. Have contemplated a Shadow Ops as well.

My Desert Hook is sitting on my rack in the basement awaiting a grip change.

Impending Doom, I am getting the Dream On remake next week.  If there a difference between the remake and the original?  I never had the original.  Thanks!

I've heard other people say it's not as strong as the original, but it's still plenty strong.
