Jolt or Neptune?
« on: February 19, 2008, 10:39:51 AM »
So I'm looking to fill the last gap in my arsenal, the completely fried gap. I've been debating with myself which would be the best bet for death lanes: Something from the Jolt Line or a Neptune. Anybody who has both, what are your thoughts? As of right now I have a Paradigm Passion, Pyro, and T-Road Pearl. Thanks! I'll also post this over in Roto Grip's forum.

They aren't for fried lanes, no balls really are. Try plastic.

Alright, well how about something to fill my gap for drier lanes? lol I'm just looking for a piece under my T-Road, that's all. Uncle Sam was nice to me this year.

Howell getting dry on Mondays?

The Jolt Pearl is probably a step down from your T-Road Pearl, but the Neptune handles more dry, especially with a 5", 5.5" pin. The Neptune is, roughly,  a 1/2 to a full step down from the Jolt Pearl, which has a lower RG, and a higher differential for more flare.

Haha, sort of. I wouldn't say dry as much as annoying. We had a few high school tournaments roll through the past week or two and we show up and we have hooking heads and some mess down lane. So by the time the third game rolls around even my T-Road is burning up
