Giving up on the Slant HD (update)
« on: January 16, 2013, 11:16:35 AM »
Well giving up on the HD for now. It's too much of cracker and just can't find a surface that matches up for more than a game.



The bridge cracked after about 10-12 games and had a half moon hairline crack around the mid finger. I filled the bridge crack and its been okay since, but crack after crack appears around the fingers after everytime I have used it which hasn't been much.

Then last night a chunk fell out of the ring finger, So I bagged it for the duration.

I see part of the problem the coverstock is "THIN" under a 1/4" at the fingers.

So now I'm trying to decide if I want to fix it or not.

Disappointed I liked how the ball rolled, But all I've done is adjust the cover fishing for a good match and watch it crack as it sets in the bag for 75% of the time.

For now I'll have to stick with my Roto Grips. They hold up better at least for me.

I see Radical is hooking up with Mo, a suggestion for you guys "Make the covers thicker so they can hold up for a while"

after punching up 3 New Elites I can say the cover is thicker. But then again I haven't had any issues with cracking 900G equipment either. After looking at the cover it appears to have air pockets or bubbles, inside the drilled holes this may have led to some of the problem.
