the New ball " The Gladiator"

OK, stop it! I don't know what you are saying and it is driving me nuts!!!LOL

Here is the ad I am going to run in the upcoming trade magazines. This ball is designed for med-med heavy oil patterns and gives a hook shape much like that of the Charcoal Executioner. The ball should give you a nice midlane read, with a strong continuous arc through the pocket.

For all of you who were begging us to bring back the Executioner line, here is your chance to get something fairly similar. We have created a new core and cover to give a similar reaction on todays oil patterns.

This ball will be followed up with a pearl version in a couple months. We received approval on the ball today, and we should be able to set a release date within the next few days.

  Or even scarier, it makes me think of THISone.

  I have had great luck with visionaries that I have had, especially the B/G centaur and the Charcoal Ex.  May have to check this one out.

P.S. Doesn't it seem odd that visionary would have a weightblock reminiscent of a J.P.F. or old hammer ball?

This core is not even vaguely close to the Gladiator, except in an SAT test ...
No joke here.

Damn. Now I need to save my money and get a "Test-Staff" certificate.

When you've moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don't cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

i have been thinking the same thing about the test staff

i want this ball
pearl gladiator when made
the urethane ogre when made
try rico on something.

looks like a gold membership.

I am really interested to see what how this ball reacts.  I was thinking about getting a cell.  if this ball is similar to that i will just get this.

i will probably get both!!
