My son did this as a science project about 10 years ago. We used a hand drill to create dimples then measured how far we could throw them. Amazing the effect they had.
i was wondering if your weapon of choice has changed sense the mirage 2.0 and ltx have came out? last stick i saw you use was a black rebel on a black pro 2.0.
I also have a tournament coming up this Saturday! I'm playing 3 games in Pennsylvania against MDX-North 2026, The Bears, and MDX-North 2025. The 2025 team will be the most challenging because there a year older than us which is a disadvantage. I'm hyped!!!!!!
Consistency, I like it. Next up, accuracy? That may be a tough one to keep the testing as repeatable as possible, of course. Unless you are not like me at all, and always hit the spot you want to every single time. I mean, if I'm aiming for the broadside of barn, I'm 95%, at least. ;)
Isn't the advantage with textured balls that they can last for a longer time? As they get their grip from their texture and not the grippy-ness of their surface. Or is this simply false? (never had a textured ball in my stick yet)
Pretty sure it’s so that the ball goes straighter and is more consistent when throwing and shooting. The texture would probably help with keeping grip too tho
@@zach_quilici yeah that’s what I assumed, by how much tho? Cuz damn the first mirage flexed left and right way too much. I loved the pocket but it didn’t feel solid
Shooting video with bryan costible, sergio perkovic, deemer class, or ryan drenner please! I want to know how they shoot so I can get used to it and use it through out my life. My shooting form is garbage!
Hayden, That would be a really cool video! It will be tough to arrange for a time they all can come in to do that but sign up for a training session with Deemer. He will help perfect your shooting form.
Tbh like 10 minutes of you guys just shooting on the turf would be hype ngl
Sometime you can catch us on the turf just shooting around

Thank God It wasn't mike
This is awesome I never expected that text football can make it go faster but they realize that was a point but I was first used to be
Still rockin the OG mirage Greg?
It was really dialed in lol
Great content and reviews!
Much appreciated! Stay tuned for many more
Scientific or not, it was still a lot of fun to CLANG! HEADS-UP!!!
I would love to see an Ultra Power and Texture ball testing
I might have to dig ours up! What do you think would happen?

I'm still deciding what I hope to be playing with this spring. But I will eventually release a new w.o.c
@@ECD well cant wait to see
This was a great idea keep it up, can’t wait to see the Black Friday deal
You won't want to miss it!
First! Love the vids! Keep up the work! Love the different type of vids.
Glad you like them! Anything else you want to see us attempt?

Good luck! Let us know how you finish this weekend.
Does Greg reply to these comments
I do!
Are the wolf balls legal in high school?
The Hex balls are not but their other ones would be

I don't know if we will do more with these but that would be a tough video to execute without the pros
Bigger question is do they get greasy faster, slower, or differently than normal balls.
We will have to set up a test to compare them. TBD
Hey Greg, how much does the DNA weigh? I found it on the web but it’s a pretty absurd number
around 6 oz? What did you find on the web?

Is the Mirage 2 stronger than the Mirage? I liked the Mirage but it didn’t have a ton of strength, it flexed for me
Mirage 2 is stronger

Much stronger! Will not noodle like the OG
Nice
Thanks! Stay tuned for more content coming soon.

Time to go to the string lab!

Hi
Hey! Thanks for tuning in
@@ECD No prob love the vids
you guys should bring back candycane mesh
We might have a few giveaways for that during our holiday special
Hey grg!
Whats up Dillamus?
When that ball hit the cross bar I ducked out of instinct
Haha you always have to be on your toes when you are on the Turf there is no way to know where they go after they hit pipe.
and i have some cheapies lol
Anything’s cheap when it’s $25 for a 3 pack
Uggghhh. That net. That awful, awful net.
It's almost time to replace it lol
I have a feeling that gold mirage 2 might be getting given away on an upcoming Friday👀
Maybe...
First

So a pitcher can throw an un-textured baseball faster with just their arm, than you can with a textured ball using a giant lever for extra energy? Wow
