Ebonite man

Got to throw some more practice with the new equipment after our league meeting on Wednesday night. I am beginning to wonder if I can use the Virtual Energy or Mutant Cell for my league. The ball reaction is just so much different than what I am used to that the first few weeks of league are likely to have a lot of growing pains. I know that if I start out slow, there will be a lot of league members asking basically "what the hell?". This happened a few years ago after I got my NV and NVS and there were even a few people that wanted me kicked off the league for sandbagging! Maybe to avoid this potential problem, I most likely will use the NV and NVS for the league and the new stuff for tournaments. I was really looking forward to using the new balls in the league, since the potential upside is huge. Guess I'd better wimp out and go the safe route so I can stay on the league! In the meantime, I'll go practice as often as I can on a fresh house pattern or maybe a sport league would be better.
