Big Blue Pearl increase in hook after a few games?
« on: February 23, 2005, 05:01:04 PM »
When I first got my BBP, I was a little disappointed in the lack of hook it had.  Seemed to go very straight, but now, after about 30 games or so, it's hook is increasing noticeably.  It still has nice length, but now I see more of the snap on the backend that I thought I would get out of the box. I know some companies have a polish from the factory that creates less friction than others, and maybe Hammer's is one of those.  Just wondering if anyone else saw this same pattern from their Big Blue Pearl.

I had exactly the same situation with my BBP.I have 150-200 games on mine and it is showing no signs of stopping.
I havent altered the cover in any way yet,and it still has great reaction and carry.

I have about 200 - 300 games on mine and it's starting to die out.....
When it was hooking it sure was a beast though. Looking into the Big Deal to replace it.

there was too much polish on it, after u threw about thirty games, the polish wore down into a lighter polish that was able to grip up much easier and make it hook stronger.
