Title: Side Swipe and Swerve GT
Post by: TWOHAND834 on June 16, 2016, 11:37:29 AM

Two new pieces coming down the line.  The Side Swipe is going to be a mid performance pearl due out July 19th.  The new Swerve ball is out August 23rd. 

Really hope the Side Swipe is going to be a good replacement for my Violent Eruption.

Is there a particular reason that see the Side Swipe replacing your Violent Eruption over a Rebel?

I was always a big fan of Columbia's Bend It pearl coverstock, which is what the Sideswipe has. However,  am at a loss why EBI refuses to wrap it around a higher-differential core.

Part of the reason is that I had a lot of success with the VE and its one of my favorite balls.  Columbia really matches up well to me as I have made a good amount of money with the Deep Freeze also.  I think the Side Swipe will be the go to ball when I have to get deeper and the Deep Freeze isnt enough on the backend.

I have the Side Swipe and the Swerve GT and the Rebel..
Personally I like the Side swipe better than the Rebel, balls drilled almost the same pin up about a 4 3/4 " pin.

Rebel is a little earlier than the swipe, and I really like the Swerve GT ball is strong but smooth. GT is my favorite EBI asym at the moment..
