So assuming you use regular (purhased) cups, what is your favourite final load size to work with?

I love my Foxy 2.5s, and That Tennis Ball looks so cool on top.

Till next time,

I voted for "Tennis Ball"

You don't need to actually *use* a tennis ball, but I like that size of cup. Not so big that I can't wrap my fingers around it without dropping a ball, and still have a good visual final load.

Just to be different, I opted for Golf Ball.
But, I have been using Golf Ball size loads more the last few month than usual since I'm working with Mini cups. You know, they are a great little load size that you can carry in your pants pocket. If your trousers are loose fitting enough, you don't have much bulging in the pocket and they are easy to grab and load. No pouch, do it standing, very practical.

Don, golf ball would have been my second choice!  I bought some Slazenger distance balls. They are 30% lighter and a bit softer than regular balls (they have a different outer shell but lookjust like regular golf balls) so quieter to load too.  A little tip for you you mini cup users!

I'm using tennis balls with my Riser cups, which is a perfect fit, but it's easier to palm a racquet ball. I use bright blue racquet balls with my Morressey cups. Another perfect fit!

Happy birthday, America!

Large Cups… Usually Tennis Balls, however I have yet to really use my Chick Cups in performance, they can handle a baseball, but for the moment I can’t.

Medium Cups…. Fruit or Lacrosse Balls.

Mini Cups… Golf Balls

I vote for the Tennis ball. I love my foxy II.V, So deceiving. My girlfriend loves them too, she just stairs at them shaking head saying that cup is to small for the tennis ball.  Smiley. I also like the Lacrosse ball, it fits so nice in my hand.

Cheers

Jeremy,

I tendto agree with you on their deception buddy, I think they are even more deceptive than the Paul Fox and Lacrosse for the bar bet...

I also choose for the tennisball load. Indeed the final load for my Foxy cups and since yesterday for my Eric Hansen chop cup.Those foxy's seem to have become a favorite for alot of people.

Although everybody is always talking about the lacrosseball load, nobody seems to use it as a favorite load. The same goes for the baseball load? Strange. I wonder what someone would use that is bigger than a baseball. Got one vote.

Yeah, good point... The tennis ball seems to be a clear favourite...  I wonder who chose "bigger?" (and what that load is???)

I think the "bigger than a baseball" vote is from a performer of the Gazzo or Gazzo type routine. Street cups can hold a pony...

I just watched the Gazzo Street Cups DVD last night and I gotta tell you it's much better than I thought it was going to be. He really gets into the details of the mechanics of the routine and there is a lot of good information that only comes from experience. Plus I laughed out loud several times during the performance. He is one cheeky fella.
His final loads are big navel oranges - that's bigger than a baseball.

Ofcourse, how could I forget the Gazzo routine. Duh?  Makes sense now that I have read it.
