Pluto
« on: January 07, 2008, 05:08:25 AM »
Mine will be drilled on wed, just like my Neptune, which is 4 3/4, above bridge, cg stacked.  I really like my Neptune with this drilling for later in the set when other stuff is hooking too early.  I am hoping to start with the Pluto which will hopefully be a little earlier and not too jumpy off the spot.  Would anyone recommend a different layout or will the same drilling achieve the results I am looking for?

yep best cheap ball i have ever owned, i use it as spare ball across oil and if you move right it will hook plenty if the heads are going.

I have a Sonic X solid almost same specs for core and a Sure Grip coverstock.

I love it...it hooks, it looks good and chicks dig it revvin down the lane!

Somedays I make it look SO good...then others.....

IT works on more conditions than any ball I have....

REgards,

Nah! This one was named after Mickey's pet.
They should have called it Callisto or Ganymede.
Seriously - still looks to be as good a value as the Venus!! (and that's saying a lot)

A guy had one on the same pair as me last night.  Easy house older wood...lil higher volume than normal...laneman pumped up the loads a bit.  So, lanes transitioned earlier with more carry down.  Plus bowling after 4 ladies league w/ plastic.

Anyway his Pluto shined didn't see layout.  Way much stronger than I expected with nice heavy arc.  Pluto's arc that much for most?  What's OOB surface?

Pretty nice look this guy had.  To compare his Twisted Fury was 4-5 boards stronger and more on backend.  Also, Pluto didn't seem to have any problem with carry down.

Pluto's OOB is supposed to be 2000 grit dull.

If his was polished, there's no telling how it was polished, over the stock 2000 or over 400 grit, abrasive polish or non-abrasive polish????

Trying to do a comparision with the Saturn, same coverstock,new core, same Radius #'s,  close differential numbers and same d-scale numbers.  Is this the new and improved Saturn? I love my Saturn and was reading about the new release and can't determine where this fits.  any ideas ?

Tried out my Pluto for the first time last night.  I had it drilled 6X4.5, pin above bridge.  Compared to my neptune drilled 5X4.5, pin above, Pluto gives me about the same length(I was surprised, but this is a very lengthy drilling)but it is not as snappy at the breakpoint.  It does have a very continuous back end, but is much more controlable on a fresh shot than my neptune.  I think this ball will fit well above the neptune.
