For me personally, I felt both the Break point and S75 gave me more than the Bounty. More roll and more angle. I may be an exception.

So are these 3 balls in OOB (S75, Bounty, Break Point) all used for the same condition...heavy oil?

The reason I ask is I just bought the Break Point and was also thinking about getting the Bounty,

 thanks

I would agree with this, the Bounty is strong but the BP and S75 have a lot more motion off the spot.

Folks,
FYI ...
The Bounty has a 1000 grit Abralon cover, a lower RG and larger differential and a stronger cover than the BP (4000 grit cover finush) or the S75 (compounded and smoothed cover), and a stronger Mass Bias than the BP. Therefore OF COURSE, it will roll earlier and have less backend BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO USE IT on much heavier oil than that on which you use the BP or the S75.

The S75 with its almost polished coverstock and the BP with its higher RG and weaker MB will, of course, have more backend, because they have less flare, lower MB, etc., etc. So you can use them on less oil.

If you want to use the Bounty on the same conditions, sand it to 4000 Abralon, use a longer pin, polish or some other such adjustment to put it on equal footing as the BP or the S75. Otherwise, be smart & save it for heavier oil.

Either would fit below your Bounty.

I really like both the S75 and the Break Point and don't think you will go wrong with either..

well as far as core specs go between the Bounty and the Break s75, the S-75 has the tronger of the two, same RG, higher diff, and higher MB. Cover and just the way the core rolls make the difference between those two.

I have not rolled the Bounty, but my S-75 at 1000 abrlon is the strongest ball I have ever thrown. I believe it would be just as strong as the bounty in oil if you had them both drilled the same and using the same surface prep.

i believe the break point is a much better choice than the S-75. It wouldn't overlap as much.

Where would the AMF Sideways fit in the mix?  Is it similar to the Break Point Pearl or what?

LaneHammer is spot on...having rolled all 3, the Break Point or original Break would be my choice under the Bounty.

It has the bigger backend because it's compounded. The Bounty is stronger because it's earlier and handles more oil.

Stronger is handling more oil, not having more backend!!!!

I use the Breaks when I have 'area', when I have to be a little more precise, Bounty. Kinda like asking which BMW would you rather drive to the grocery store,............jime

I took a risk and brought the Bounty and Break Point...Finally have a chance to practice with both this afternoon. Judging from the balls reaction,  I think I have found 2 good pals....will update more when I use them on Wed night league.
