Title: The Gauntlet
Post by: sevenpin63 on September 08, 2017, 07:52:37 PM

Does anyone have info on this ball?
How does it compare to the Timeless?

Completely different, bro! Timeless is all skid flip, Gauntlet is much more in the oil.

Good, because I just picked one up.
Sometimes I have been having problems kicking out the corner pins with the timeless.
I was looking for something stronger with a different reaction.
Hope this works.

I don't know if its that much more volume or that they have changed what type of oil they are using. Its at Lakeside off of lake street, in Roselle.

Love me some Hammer but would probably get a Radical Cash or More Cash before a Gauntlet honestly if I wanted a heavy oil to medium heavy oil hook monster.  Then again I am speed dominant too but Mo really worked his mojo for those pieces.

Do you have the Timeless at the ghastly 1500 grit polished finish? Please tell me no.

Gauntlet is going to be a stronger earlier cover with an assym core. It's going to pop more downlane and transition harder, but not be as sensitive as the Timeless.
