Honestly on THS shorter to medium length I think the Ogre Urethane would be the go to ball.

You and I have talked a little about this already, but curious to what others might think about urethane. My take on urethane is it has it's play on certain conditions. But, I think those that would benefit most would be slower speeds and those that can be very accurate. Power players like myself would find less use of urethane. Power players...for the most part have more room and can afford to be less accurate so we would get more from reactive balls. This is just my take on urethane in general on most THS.

I'll try adjusting my rev rate and ball speed to get higher in the pocket for better carry from the outside...flat 10's will happen when I come in 1/2 pocket. We'll see again the Ogre line is so reasonably priced.........they are hard not to try at that price.
I tried my Glowing Amulet same surface same type of core but not exactly the same but with a weaker drilling that I'd put on the Ogre Urethane on the fresh at BAV/local house sliding 17 and rolling 4-5 down and in not away from the pocket...very good results. I can see the Ogre Urethane being able to do the same. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q29/scotts33/VisGlowingAmulet.jpg
Carry down is the factor I worry about the most then it's deeper with Ogre Pearl.

I'm just saying in my opinion, most power players can not play that line. They are too used to being able to swing the ball...more of a mental thing I guess.
Post by: gsback on August 14, 2009, 03:38:27 PM
Asking because I could easily see a power player playing the same physical game with this ball....but without the swing.
And it is like you said...a mental thing....agreed.

I'm a power player/cranker and I can see plenty of reason to consider this ball.the main reason is to keep my line more reasonable and keep me away from 5th-6th arrow.I find high polished reactive just creates to much angle when trying to play on broken down shots.and the higher I amp up my speed the more revs and stronger reaction I get.when I slow my speed down the revs will drop to an almost tweener state.for heavy oil I have no problems playing but I rarely see any good oil anymore,on broken down/dry shots or flat patterns with jumpy backends I have a hard time finding a nice consistant shot.urethane has been the only type of cover I can do well with.

Thx for the vid. Is it the first Ogre Urethane video in the whole www?
Post by: gsback on August 20, 2009, 05:09:19 AM
Ball looks encouraging to say the least!! Nice roll....consistent arc and maybe a little more ability in the ball than what Jason wants to admit.....but it looks real good.
Looks great rolling down the lanes too!!

Look like pearl and feels like plastic. Changed my mind on the drilling. I was going with Pin under ring finger with CG kicked out 1 inch, but I went with the Pin over ring finger with the CG stacked below. I'll give my initial review after I pick it up tomorrow and roll it on some of that mid day tile floor condition at my local house, before they oil the lanes.
