I dont see Seismic listed on bowlingball.com. They have the "perfect scale" that measures a balls strength. I was looking to compare the Venator to other balls but wasnt able to.
So Im asking you guys....forget stats, lanes etc....just talking pure ball strength potential...The Venator is equal to or stronger than ????? Nightmare? Endless Nightmare? Sync? Aura? first blood???
Thanks.

Hello Everyone

I figured I'd chime in here after reading these posts. First our center pattern is 42 feet with over 25 mils. This is a lot of oil compared to many other house patterns and longer than most. In our center balls don't really boom in the backend. For us using duller balls is best as polished balls do have a tenency to be smooth off the pattern.

I did take the Venator with me to PA to practice and bowl a tourney. The house pattern in PA was 39 ft. Here the Venator was greatly stronger than the Dominion as the Dominion was smoother throughout the whole lane. With the Venator I was able to stand 7 boards farther left and play it 3 boards farther right at the breakpoint. When the Venator finds friction it definitely boomerangs.

Thank you Chris for the follow up.  With the difference in your center's house pattern (42') and the tourney (39'), is it safe to say that the tourney pattern (even though shorter), had more mils of oil, thus you being able to notice the more overall strength of the Venator?  I used mines on a summer sport shot that was 44', and supposedly 2:1 flat across. I was expecting a little more strength out of my Venator, but come to find out, the volume was not heavy.  Was long, but not heavy...so I may have seen a little burn off of energy sooner rather than later.  I can't wait to get it on something much much heavier.

schwanstuker,
I will stick to the DV8. They are proven balls and from what Ive seen and read about the Venator its not that strong unless one of the staffers are writing the review. Nothing against the staffers here, but on every ball page I never saw a staffer give a weak review. And if you ever did bowl against me, you'll probably lose.

Please read my second review. I am not a staffer and have been. Storm Roto guy for a long time. The ball needs oil and is a beast on oil. Was two boards stronger than my Soul which was hands down stronger that the Brutal Nightmare I had

Really?  Some people just don't know anything about stuff...  Maybe do some research before you make bold claims.  There are no weak reviews because the ball is that good. And it does as advertised.  And if you think Seismic isn't proven, than maybe you should ask Brian Voss. He won the Irish Open in 2012.  Shooting 300 with the Raging Bull Charged in that tournament.   Sounds pretty proven to me.  Sorry we don't have the backing of a big ball company like DV8 does with Brunswick.  But I assure you the Seismic gear is every bit as good as the other big names.  Don't be afraid to try it, you won't be disappointed.

Sadly Gunny, he will be disappointed because he will try it on lighter oil than it was designed for just to give it low grades, this kid is just that kind of a troll, just like a child, he asks why - why- why, and when you tell him, he refuses to believe it's possible for Seismic to be that much better. Personally I would like him to go to the DV8 Forum and resume his roll as a DV8 Groupie.

They do not have a quarter inch cover. It is just about a half inch the same as pretty much any other manufacturer. Do you honestly think all these smaller companies are going to have 900 Global pour balls for them with covers so thin that the chance of cracking is more of a possibility, quality and customer satisfaction is what these companies live on as they don't have the budget for huge marketing campaigns like the big 3. Trust me I have heard of many more instances of DV8's cracking than I have of all the Global pours combined, and to their credit they generally replace balls under warranty that they probably shouldn't.

But not seismic, jet or lane onex even though they are from the same plant..

only online would you hear someone say this. Lol. Easy to be a key board super hero when you know you don't need to back the talk. Honestly it makes me think the kid stinks if he has to tell people he would beat them.
