My next question is does anyone have a V2 Pearl just laying around that they would like to get rid of, or know where I can find one? 15 or 16 pounds it does not matter at this point.

Yes pacrat....the urethane blue hammer with a 3" pin.....

I found a shop with some old school stock and I bought what I could. The old school urethanes won't roll for me unless I have pin outs....pin in's tend to roll over the thumb for me. Hence the reason I don;t roll the Crimson and Black Phantoms...rumble the thumb unless I frisbee the release.
