Question
Hi, hopelife finds you well. I would like a suggestion in reguards to block, shell and layout for a long oil pattern or prehaps 38 feet buffed to 42 feet. I am a lefty and my pap is 4.75" over and 1" up. I am using the ultimate and absolute infernos both drilled lable leverage. The ultimate revs off my hand but seems to burrn up too much energy and has little recovery on the back. The absolute squirts through the oil and recovers a little better but is eratic. Any help is welcomed.......Thanks

Answer
I would look for a ball that has a pearl particle coverstock.  This should give you a reaction between the 2 balls you are using now.  A similar core type should work fine.

You may want to try putting a little surface on your absolute to calm down the reaction and give it a bit more control.

The only ball I can think of right now is the Ragin Banshee by Storm.  There are others, but I seem to be having a bit of brain lock.  Leverage on that ball would work fine.

Good luck,
Chip
