Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.

from my convo with a hammer staffer he said the big one is supposed to be more in the midlane than the one and more overall in the backend also and pearlized possibly (not 100 percent sure about that)
Ron Hickland says it's a solid and is 7 boards stronger than the One !!

the big one is due out this week. That is what I was told by my proshop guy. He can order monday and I will have it this sunday. Have to travel to get it. But it is to be 7 to 10 boards stronger the THE ONE and it also has the big back end. I have no idea but this ball seems like its going to be a beast
The Big One and the Road Hawg have been delayed until mid February. I spoke to someone at Ebonite/Hammer about this today.. Not sure where your pro shop guy is getting his info..

YOU ARE INCORRECT, I have talked to my pro shop and he talked to his distributors and they are saying that the Road Hawg ships to them on the 23rd and the Big One ships on the 30th. Therefore these balls are right on schedule, besides with whom did you talk to at Ebonite/Hammer that told you this information?

I also spoke to Buddies yeaterday and they also told me both balls where delayed until mid February..
As far as who I talked to at Ebonite/Hammer, it was a very reliable source..
At this point, we will just wait and see when it is released..

Hmm, sounds to me like you are making some stories up, a very reliable source? Why not mention a name of who you spoke with, or did you not speak to anyone? Trying to "pretend" to be in the know. I will stick with my proshops realation with his supplier as they are usually in touch with the ball companies a little more.

Hey buddy, I am a very reputable user on here and I have never seen any of your posts prior to this one so please don't insinuate anything. Just because I didn't say who I spoke with, doesn't mean I am "making" stories up.. Thats what I was told and all I was doing is stating what I was told, period..
I also spoke with Tim at Buddies Pro Shop and he told me both balls where delayed until mid February.. They are one of the largest pro shops in the US so I would think they would have very good information..
But you never know what to believe.. I am hoping the ball is released next week as I want one pretty bad!!

The Big One: GB11.2 - 11.2 Grams Per Hour
I'd guess a more pourus resin, for more traction...

I am only going by the guy I deal with. He says I can pick my ball up on sunday of next week. Told me he could order it on monday and everything. I dont know how maybe he has someone on the inside or maybe its just one those situations that I cant explain. I just know what I was told. Now could it be wrong maybe but rightn now I have never been let down yet by him so all things are go.

I have a one with less than 75 games and after about 35 or 40 I cleaned it, took it down to 180 Abralon up to 4000 Abralon w/o polish which all I did out of the box is break off the pollish and yet the ball dosen't seem to read the lanes as well and jump off the spot like it did out of the box.
any suggestions?
Thanks
