ripd pearl and hybrid
« on: January 20, 2019, 07:51:43 AM »
Can someone explain why hammer put the surfaces on them that they did. I have the pearl and the solid and I do like the reactions, but if I want a more defined break point wouldn't it be more logical to shine the pearl, and than get a hybrid and change the surface to bridge the gap between the solid and pearl? Am I missing something?

Well hybrid plus polish and pearl plus polish are nearly the same reaction.

A sanded pearl offers a 3rd unique look or reaction.

Some of storms biggest hits we're sanded pearls, same with EBI

The prodigy, lucid, critical theory, the lock, the list goes on...
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

Sanded pearls tend to handle oil relatively well while still seeing the friction harder than the counterparts.

There's a few EBI staff guys around me and quite a few people throwing the RipD Pearl.

I don't know why Hammer did it the way they chose, but the RipD Pearl is almost the same reaction as the RipD Solid, just slightly weaker. The original RipD is definitely has the most defined breakpoint.

I see a lot of transitioning from the heavy oil balls to the Rodman Pearl and now Choice Pearl
