Viral pearl compared to Green grape Vibe??
« on: August 13, 2015, 10:02:54 AM »
I have a customer that had a green grape vibe that cracked all the way around the ball, and they are looking for a replacement. It appears the Viral pearl would be right in line, but I also noticed the introduction of the viral solid. Just curious if someone could give me information on the Viral compared with the Vibes.

Thanks

Grape Vibe is a pearl so the original Viral would be closest.

Viral Solid isn't released until next month

The Grape Vibe had the cut-throat cover stock that was a little rolls compared to the other Vibes at this time... The new Viral is cleaner in the fronts with angular motion in the backends than the Viral Solid is. In regards to getting a similar reaction to the Grape, I would recommend the Viral Solid than the original Viral, but if the customer wants a little more length with pop, then I would recommend the Viral.

Hope this helps your question...

Plowboy300,
Thank you for your information. You answered the exact question I was asking. I knew that the vibe and the pearl viral were both pearls, but I was concerned that the viral pearl would be longer than the grape vibe, and more violent downlane. I'm going to suggest the solid viral to my customer, to be closer to the green grape vibe.

Thanks again
