New balls' descriptions on the website?
« on: August 20, 2007, 06:33:11 PM »
I just noticed that for all 3 new balls, Rising, Kinetic and Temper, in their description on the website, there is no mention of whether they're solid, pearl, particle or combinations of any of those three characteristics. Of course, I know it's not a vital specification, but I am one who always wants to know the lowest level details. I am sure others do also.

I am also sure it has already been discussed in all the recent threads on these new balls, but I probably missed that one midst all the posts.

So, one, I'd like to know the coverstock's description for each of these balls,
and,
two,
(This is mostly for Carl and Rick)
I'd really like to see that detail in the website description for all balls in the future.

Thank you.

More opinion (possibly extraneous ):
I know Ebonite sometimes puts this detail in their website descriptions and sometimes they do not. This was also true with Track's older balls. Personally I think this is a failing and should be remedied.

Working on all of that charlest. A detailed description should be essential on our website.

Yes, seems for the time being we're kind of stuck with length and backend numbers.  While this can give an idea of the reaction shape, an overall hook rating is always nice to see.  I know the new Track is just getting underway, but just a couple ideas for what to look for I suppose.

They're Ebonite-designed and manufactured, odds are they're not particle balls.  Ebonite has been moving away from particle covers, especially on their high end balls after the Xcel line.  "Don't need 'em", they say.

Considering how maintenance-heavy the recent high-end balls from Hammer and Ebonite are, the lack of particles just might be a good thing.
