Avalanche Solid Review
« on: February 12, 2008, 03:59:12 AM »
5" pin above fingers
No hole
OOB finish Shiny
House Shot

Like most I have been waiting for this series. There is virtually no flare with this ball as is and I think I'm going to leave it this way. Compared to my Punisher drilled the same I had to move 5 right with my feet and three with my mark. It doesn't jump off of the dry like the Punisher which is perfect. It has a smoother move to the pocket because of the core and solid cover combo, and it doesn't lope like the power Groove Pink/Blue. Controlling the dry is the name of the game with the solid.

You could play a medium oil pattern with a little more surface and an X Hole, but this ball fills the gap in my bag. We have a few houses with bad surfaces and the only ball that would work was the Power Groove. Now we have a weaker cover and a proven core to play the dirt. The carry is good with the Avalanche.

I'm not sure if we'll get the pearl to test but I'll post a review if one shows up!!

Exactly! My Power Groove flares about 3-4" while the Avalanche only flares 1.5-2" in the oil.
