What's the replacement for the Thing Returns?
« on: October 26, 2006, 04:33:26 PM »
The TR is one of best balls I've ever owned, clean through the front, sharp and strong on the back.  Is there something the current DT line up that could take its place?  

Phil, I know the Thing was what you wanted the Heat to be, so now that you're back at Track, how about release a Heat/Thing?

I think the shape of the hook for the 357 would be pretty close TR, However, because of the low RG of the 357, it will definitely start up earlier.  You might want a longer PIn to PAP Distance.  You could also get an Energy and change the surface.

the basll with the closest numbers and cover would be the ZR, has less recovery but very close in length. TR 2.56 - .060, ZR 2.53 - .054 JMO

Good Call Tek,  I completely forgot about the ZR.
