Rumor

[Maris9]

Any truth to the rumor GSL will be going to different ball next year? Heard possibly a 44 400?

I hope so. People are gonna get killed if they stick with the ball they had this year.

Why is that they used a 44 375 this year.

The official GSL ball was a 50/375

 

[Maris9]

Incorrect official ball was 44 375 trump synthetic. 50 core ball was year before.

 

[Maris9]

Not sure where your located but every tourney we played in Ohio,Illinois, Indiana we had to use 44 375 Trump.

44/whatever is definitely a step in the right direction, still a rock though.

This was during the 2012 season. Apex could not keep up the production of that ball to supply GSL enough, at least that is what was said.

The 44/375 Trump Stote was a nice ball to hit for sure. I personally would be fine if they went to a 40/375 but I'm guessing it will stay the same.
