OOooooOOOOoooooOOO, Snake Oil really makes that Bounty's bronze pop.
That's going to be a lethal combination.

Britton I am sure you will love them both. I have told several people around here and even several of the global employees, that Maniac is one awesome ball and I hope it does not get overlooked due to the bounty.
Oh well only time will tell

*drool* boy am I glad christmas is right around the corner! What are the price pointsfor these balls? All of them are beautiful, I like the look of the Maniac. We'll see if any of them fit in my arsenal. If not, I'll need to make some rooms!

They both look great really like the bounty with the snake oil on it.

Mine were delivered to the shop today, too, so I should have a video out soon as well. Britton will beat me to the punch as usual, but I think they'll be enough difference obviously in our release styles, etc. to warrant the vid! Should be interesting to throw both balls -- can't wait!

The Price points for them will have the bounty at about the same price as the Breaks. Maybe a little more with the new core and cover. However well worth it. Then the price of the Maniac is going to be a little more then then creature line. This is going to be a good place for it because this is a area 900 hasnt had a ball in.

My Maniac showed up on my doorstep today. Awesome colors. Can't wait to drill it. I'm a little confused though, after looking at the core (I didn't see it before it was ordered, I don't get BTM) what makes this symmetrical and not assymetrical? I'm not complaining, so please don't get me wrong. Anyone have an answer? Thanks.

There is two ways to make something symmetrical and assymetrical. The first way is just by the shape itself. If you can cut it and in any way end up with two halfs that are different then it can be assymmetrical. The other way is even with that kind of shape, you can have different mass amounts in one area of the ball that even with a assymmetrical shape the mass of the shape can be twicked to keep it symmetrical. Thats also true with something symmetrical. You can alter the mass of the shape in area to make it assymmetrical.

Scoot- Thanks for your explanation about symmetrical vs. assymmetrical. My questions still remains. What makes this ball (Maniac) symmetrical and not assymmetrical? From the looks of the core, it appears assymmetrical based on it doesn't seem it would be identical if one were to cut the core in half. I think what's throwing me off is those nubs. Thanks.

What makes this ball symmetric? Here is the short version and hopefully the simplest. There are 3 axis on a core. X-Y and Z. Basically when you look at the X axis you get one vision if you will, turn the core to the Y axis you have the same exact look. Now when you look at the Z yet again the same exact look. That means the ball is an equal shape in all directions on all axis. Hope you follow. Now most of the time you will have 2 that look similar and the Z will look different on asymmetric cores. Nick and I shot a video explaining this very question and we will release it soon. Let me know if you have further questions but this is the easiest way to explain. That core when rotated is the same on all sides.

Thanks so much for replying. Explanation was PERFECT and what I was looking for and easy to understand. The ball is awesome too, btw. This fits perfectly between the Creature and the Break. Wish I could use a Bounty but no place to use it in my neck of the woods. Maniac is a great release!

Don't necessarily think "symmetric" or "asymmetric", though the explanations provided by Scoot and ET are spot on. I think the interesting difference between symmetric and asymmetric balls is whether they have a significant PSA that's 90* from the pin (i.e., at the 900G spot).
You can follow their definitions for determining if the ball is asymmetric, but if that asymmetry doesn't have an effect on ball motion, there's no point in calling it asymmetric. You'd drill it using symmetric layout techniques anyway. The placement of the MB mark won't affect ball motion anyway. There are several cores that are clearly asymmetric when you look at them but the placement of the MB has no effect on ball reaction. Vice versa is true too. There are several that look symmetric (Ebonite's The One) but the MB placement has a profound effect on ball motion. In that case, it's not the shape of the core but the density inside it.
