Etienne, that is a good way of putting it; how Bruce's review make it feel like you own them a little bit too. Bruce, everyone loves your reviews, don't stop. Bruce, after writing a review myself, I have to ask, how do you write so many and not shoot yourself?
If I ever get Sherwoods, I'll review them, as well as any other set I might receive, but I'll never have as many sets as you, so you guys don't have to worry about reading "Cup Junkie Commits Suicide" in the paper.

Etienne, Mike, Bri… I get a kick out of writing the reviews. I guess that I can do it quickly because I do a lot of observational reporting at work and I really care about Cups.
Etienne… that is cool that you know the status of your RNT2 orders, I can’t wait to hear what you write about them. I have not received a reply as to status of my orders… they will come in time.
Best to all of you,
Bruce

This week I received my Mini PF cups, instead of writing a review I thought to make an addition to the review Bruce did. So here it goes.
I received a double zipper bag, balls and cups. No routine booklet (they forgot to pack it, should be on my way now) and the bag they came in was a White Beauty bag since they had run out of PF bags (which I really wanted). Don't misunderstand me, I like and love all the cups RNT2 shipped to me. It is just a shame that the cups I ordered didn't came as pictured on the website. A Squatty 2 bag with the cups or a PF bag with the cups.

The balls that came with the cups are 7/8" balls, a 3 ball display is possible but you can't stack with 3 balls.

As for final loading a golfball fits perfectly. The steel ball bearings I got look great with the cups but alas won't fit. The illusion you have with the Foxy II.V doesn't apply to the Mini PF cups. Or atleast that is my opinion. Maybe I just haven't got the right size final load ball.

The cups feel great in the hands, look wonderfull and are a joy to play with. To end things off, some comparison pics.

SBL Street cup vs. Mini PF cup vs. regular PF cup.
Enjoy.

Etienne… you posted a great add on to me review. I hope to get a set of Mini PF Cups in copper too. Like you, I was a little disappointed that that bag I received with mine also said White Beauty…. Oh well.
I am still using golf balls with my Cups for the final load, if you find something better please let me know. I tried some handballs but they were a dark blue color, almost black… they did not seem to pop like the golf balls during the reveal. Also no one seemed to know what a handball was.
I especially like your pictures comparing the Mini with the full size PF Cups and the Street Cups.
Thanks for posting,
Bruce

Bruce,
Thank you, I was dissapointed about the bag. But actually I don't have any reason to complain, got the cups cheap.

I truly hoped that it would fit. Was kinda dissapointed when it didn't fit. Ah well, the search continues.

Go for it, you won't regret it.
