Drilled up the T-Road Solid today!
« on: June 26, 2007, 07:23:31 AM »
The ball is absolute MONEY! That's the first impression, anyway.

Drilled Pin about 5" from PAP over middle finger with CG just barely under ring, closer to center. No x-hole.

On a 36 foot house shot, the ball is phenominal. Great midlane read with a DEVISTATING backend reaction that no other company can seem to produce with their solid coverstocks.

The ball is very adaptable, on first impression, to changes in hand position. I was able to move way left on the fresh shot, increasing axis rotation to around 75 degrees or so, releasing around 30 board, breakpoint around 12. WHAM!
7 in a row dead flush until I left a solid 9. Sweet.

Decreasing the axis rotation to around 30-40 degrees, playing 15-5, the ball had absolutely no problem kicking out the 10 pin. Even on a shorter house pattern, the ball was able to get through the heads without over-reading, and saving tons of energy for the deck.

Overall great first impression. More to come.

Jason

Wow thanks for the update.  Were you using the OOB finish?

Yeah, surprisingly I wasn't tempted to polish it after the first few shots. I was pretty sure that I would want to shine it up a bit, but the compliment with the TRP is perfect. The combination of power and predictability is unmatched at first glance.

Impressive piece.

Hey Brooklyn,

Have you ever thrown a Dark Thunder?  I am thinking this ball will be similar to that but the coverstock is totally different I guess.

Brook,

Is it stronger then what STORM has posted on their site? Basically they have it as a down and in ball, straight up the 5 to the pocket.

Yeah Storm makes it look like a medium oil ball at best. To me, with the coverstock and everything, I think it could work great for med/hvy oil. They show the Secret Agent as my line exactly for heavy oil. Then again, those charts haven't been too accurate.
