Title: The New Gryphon Special Edition
Post by: bcw1969 on April 28, 2014, 11:30:54 PM

Visionary has a Gryphon Special Edition on their facebook page. They say

"This ball is very limited and will only be available through the booth and to staff members of all levels."

Specs are fairly close to the Samurai.

Same Cover

Little higher RG and little lower Diff.  Might be a few boards longer with a little less overall hook.   

Not saying its a bad ball or anything, just with the other 2 pearls I do not need this ball at this moment.

I see. I didn't read the fine print, I guess, that the cover was the same. Thanks for the heads up.

Wish we had more oil volume and length around these parts.   :)

I know I'll be getting it as i think this will find a nice place in between the Warlock Pearl and the Gladiator Pearl.  Granted, I've got a Purple Ice, but I really need to put some polish on that to see where it goes.  But why not....always up for supporting Visionary!!  And I am sure the ball will find a place as currently, the Warlock is just too strong at times on the current lanes.

Phil has a major fan boy crush on the Gryphon, as it was the ball he had his first 300 with.

Looks like we will prob. get one and do some sort of Vid for it.  Not 100% sure yet but he is leaning towards wanting to get one.
