My friend throws one of those and it's super versatile, just not real effective in longer heavier oils. You'll be able to handle almost everything you see with the Granite.

Are you sure about this??? BBR's specs only say 1500 polished urethane. Just because it has swirling in the color doesn't automatically make it a pearl.

I had and original two piece red hammer urethane pearl that was too much ball for toast.

I also emailed Visionary a few minutes ago myself to make sure, but I didn't get anything from them yet.

Slate Gargoyle: RG = 2.59, diff = 0.038
XXL: RG = 2.557, diff = 0.024
My only concerns are for the higher differential (flare) on the Gargoyle and the rumored cracking problems Visionary had with the Glowing Amulet's urethane.

I hadnt heard those. I've had mine for about a year now and so far no problems and it has hit something around the pindeck area once or twice and gone flying up. That is never a good feeling to see it go airborne at the pindeck

I had one for 5-10 games and it had a noticeable track in it by that time. I was using on regular (not fried) lane conditions as well...

Both are urethane covers wrapped in a Gargoyle Core.
Just wondering if anyone has heard the difference?
Thanks,

The hardness of the Glow is like 86 on the durometer, to the eyes and hands it looks and feels like plastic. Most likely it causes alot less friction then the urethane even though it's a polished pearl cover.

Pin_Krusher IS a serious threat to modern day bowling wood as we know it today.

Visionary said Sept 15th.

Aren't Visionary's own words the defining difference?
The website says the Slate is a pearl urethane. The Amulet Glow was a solid urethane.
"The Slate Blue Gargoyle uses the highly successful Gargoyle core design, and wraps it with a pearlized urethane coverstock."
That is a major difference. No matter how hard or polished it was, my Amulet got much less length length than I expected. I would surely expect the Slate Blue to get significantly more length.
