Default 72mm powerballs on dervish?

Loaded dervish with the 72mm powerballs....
anyone tried this setup?
is 72mm too small?

If I put in some 1/8'' baseplates, how would that factor in?

I have the lime bigzigs on now, but I REALLY like the pink powerballs for sliding. I tried the 70mm ones out on my friends landyachtz wedge-flex. Wondering what people think?

Oh yeah, any other reccomendations would be great. Something slidy that is fairly large? NOT flywheels or gumballs, I've tried them both out. I'm not eliminating them, I've just already formed opinions about them and I don't really need any more info about them. I'd looked at the landyachtz hogs...?

Love em.... I just wish they lasted. They are down to 65 mm after 3 sessions.

I've ridden Powerballs on my Dervish before. Buttery slides, but still a good amount of grip. I've actually gotten to like the feel of sliding lime BigZigs a lot, though, so that's what I'm running now.

I've heard great things about the orange Hawgs...
