Need ball stronger than Train, but which one?
« on: January 26, 2013, 05:42:20 PM »
I have a Train that I absolutely love!  But when the patterns get long or lots of carry down its seems to fall on its face.  I have my Train drilled pin below ring and on medium to med/heavy with clean backends its the best ball I have ever thrown!  So I am looking at several options- Freight Train, War Eagle, DV8 Brutal Nightmare, and Motiv 2Cruel.  Which would better fill the void above my Train?  Or any other ball suggestions as I normally throw 900/AMF but open to any.  Bowl mostly on ths with 16-17mph at the pins and prefer to square up and play more direct but can open up if need be.

The shop I am in is a Pro 900 Global/AMF shop and I would look for the Freight Train as your best answer.
The FT is a Solid with these numbers 15 lb   2.543       0.055
That ball is with an E pad which is roughly 2,500 grit. Added during our demo day a couple of weeks ago with a basic 4 by 4 layout this ball is STRONG.

The Bullet Train is a Pearl and I am not that impressed with it but that's not me.
The BT is has 15 lb   2.553       0.040 so a smidge more lenght and less on the back end. Also it's with a E pad as well and according to the site it computes to 2,500 grit.
So to answer what your looking for the Freight Train is your answer if sticking with 900 Global. The market has some stronger stuff out there like a Motiv Raptor Talon and The Sync but the choice is yours. Hope this helps.

I can not wait to get my hands on a Freight Train. I would get rid of the nib Train I have sitting behind me to get one.
