Title: anyone else use the rebel tank on a regular basis?
Post by: strikeordie on January 19, 2016, 03:45:48 AM: Usually after the first game I can switch to the rebel tank on my ths. I love this ball. The hit and carry is unreal. It seems like there is so much energy when the tank hits the pocket. This is the perfect ball for playing down and in.

With both using pearl/urethane hybrid coverstocks and the cores seemingly not too different I'm thinking they should be similar but it's hard to say. I've never had a urethane before and I'm seriously considering the Rebel Tank.

Post by: Bowl_Freak on March 19, 2016, 07:53:06 AM: Pitch Blue actually comes 1500 sanded on a pearl cover. I believe the Rebel Tank comes polished OOB. I have a Pitch Red thats polished OOB and its pretty nice and probably more comparable to the Rebel Tank. Now i havent thrown the Rebel Tank but i have thrown the original Tank and its went pretty straight compared to the Pitch Black with same surface.

The Pitch Blue comes 2000 grit Abralon. The Rebel Tank comes 4000 grit.

I was wondering if you & NeumannKnight used the stock surface or if you changed it to something else.
