(Storm Forum) I have an Idea...
« on: January 17, 2007, 12:00:30 AM »
and I want your oppinions please.

I currently have a Special Agent, Agent, Domination, and Spit Fire. I also have 3 Flash Forces which are about to be sold. Due to my higher rev low speed the current balls I own I am going to tweak the coverstocks.

Right now my Special is at 1000 grit. Agent is 2000 grit polished. Domination is 1000 grit polished. Spit Fire 4000 grit polished.

Once I sale my Flash Forces I thought about getting another Solid for my arsenal. I want another Thunderstruck Solid, but Im almost willing to spend an extra $20 and just get another Special Agent.

So if I decide to get another Special I will do the following:

Special at 800 grit sanded
Special at 4000 grit polished
Agent at 2000 grit sanded
Domination at 4000 grit polished
Spit Fire at 4000 grit polised (Ill put a weight hole on my pap to mellow the reaction)


One question:

How well does the Agent work sanded?

I figure I will eventually add one more solid and if I do I will add the Jolt Solid to go under the Spit Fire or I will add the Screamin Banshee if I can still find one

Another question:

How would the Screamin Banshee compare to the Jolt Solid?

I do plan on adding the new ball when it comes out in February. I really love the coverstock on the Special and I bet the new ball will be freakin sweet!

I did 1000 abralon to a pin up and it rolls ok. I think it would have been better with a pin under ball. It definitely smoothes the roll of the ball.

Lots of questions and ideas inside of this thread... I'll try to give my thoughts to all.

- I would not be against sanding for different reactions - so if this approach works for you I'd go for it.

- I have never sanded an Agent nor would I since a Special Agent would fit in that spot anyway.  I sand solids and particles, but sanding pearl reactives has never really worked for me other than to smooth out the reaction.

- depending on how it is layed out Jolt Solids react VERY close to Thunderstruck Solids - get one of the other not both.  Get a Jolt Pearl as a step down ball and drill it weaker.

Thanks. Yea I want to mellow my Agent some and I want it to be able to grab a little harder. I already decided I will get a Special Agent and just take it to 4000 grit polished.

If anyone else has any suggestions then please put them down, thanks!
