Just got my Harsh Reality today. UPS guy was here when I pulled up. So now I’m watching this video with my un drilled Harsh on my spinner just admiring it 😁

[@wsbproshop]

Awesome! I hope you love it. It's surprisingly become my favorite ball right now, and I've been able to use it on all sorts of conditions

[@shanenorthrop1969]

@@wsbproshopyes I can use it anytime. It hooked quit a bit then I cleaned it with a magic eraser not knowing that that sands it to around 4000 grit. It didn’t react as well so I took a used 2000 Abralon pad and sanded with that but it’s still not the same. Waiting on new pads hopefully I can fix it

I love the look of the harsh reality , even compared to the original reality. I hated the DNA , hated that thing , 2 different drillings , many surface preps , so glad to see a dull ball with some good movement

[@wsbproshop]

Yeah, the DNA definitely wasn't a back end monster. I like using mine as more of a medium ball that I can play straighter with. But the Harsh has basically usurped all heavy oil solids in my bag--it's too good

[@nicholauscurphey3925]

would you go pin up or down on a shot like this?

[@wsbproshop]

For me, definitely pin down. I like the smoother reaction down lane, especially when trying to manage the back ends of heavy oil.

[@bamtanner]

Lose a grip and put 10 back… Ben said hold my beer.

[@chrismagory9423]

Did you drill it pin down on harch reality

[@wsbproshop]

Sort of... it's pin in my middle finger. So, in between pin up and pin down. My favorite :)

[@mikewrobel2881]

55 x 5 1/4 x 40... is that your standard layout? Would you explain why, particularly the 5 1/4......I should have listened to the entire video before posting, thanks!

[@wsbproshop]

No prob--happy to explain. For me, having too much flare can make controlling the back end tough. 5 1/4 pin to PAP allows the ball to be a bit weaker and roll more forward at the back, so that I don't have to play with hand positions as much. I'd guess the average person gravitates toward 4, 4.5" or so... but that's too much back end for me

[@mikewrobel2881]

@wsbproshop My PSO has changed my kayouts to 5" to save energy for the back, as I have low ball speed. BTW, you guys have the best logo and music. Would be interested to see multiple testers of the same ball at the same time.

[@jamesbills5998]

Harsh for me Is not a big ball. I get more motion out of my Idol Cosmos. Don't like It.

[@wsbproshop]

I can see that. But that's kind of what I like out of the Harsh: it handles heavy oil, but doesn't have big back end. It's surprisignly controllable and versatile for me

[@BarryLorinser]

This video is so good--nice work! I didn't think I'd be interested in a Harsh Reality until seeing just how versatile it looks. Going to get one after the summer

[@wsbproshop]

Glad you liked it! Yeah it's surprisingly versatile--I wouldn't have expected that for a top shelf solid.
