Title: Special Ops = Snap Lock ?

In the video above it is stated that the Special Ops is a cheaper version of the Snap Lock.  I always thought the Snap Lock had a stronger cover than anything  in the Ops line.  Anyone else vouch that the Special Ops is that strong?

I'm going to say no. These guys just started reviewing 900 Global stuff and also think that the Lock would be close to a Black Ops.

My official answer is no. Spec ops would be a good step down. S70 is now medium heavy area, but has gotten.. weaker.

Ball closer to Snap Lock is Inception Pearl.

I have a teammate on Monday nights..his on well taken care of old wood lanes goes long and angular. Looks very clean. I almost get a Code Black vibe from it and no not because they both are black and have black in the name...

Black ops and CB are VERY similar motions, but my love for the Break core is well known.

Bill, get a damn Black Ops right now. Seriously. If there was ever a ball I'd recommend to anyone, it's whatever ball 900 Global has with S70 and the regular Break core in it. Do not pass go, you will collect $200 (in brackets!), get one now.

Also, break the surface. You will thank me.

My teammate has some over/under issues with his and I also told him to break the surface. He hasn't yet, but I think even hitting it lightly with a 4k pad would help that ball.

It will. 1500 polished is horrible.

Wasn't crazy with the polished cover on the Black Ops, but after taking it down, it is hard to get out of the bag. Also, the Special Ops is pretty dang good with the polish on. IMO I don't think the S70 is any weaker on the Black Ops than the original Break or Eagles. On a side note, I will say, the Desert Ops is a completely different animal than the Break Down. For those that may have had a sour taste in their mouths from the Break Down and the low diff core, the Desert Ops is not the same ball. I know it features the same core, but the cover rolls so much better. So far I have more confidence in how it finishes and it rolls like the cover is a touch stronger.

I've heard the Desert is the nut. Can't wait to punch all 3 Ops

I wonder if a person can get a chart on all the 900 global covers and arrange them in strength

900 global uses a number system for their covers. (80, 74, 70, 62, 57...etc)

If someone had 2-3 hours to waste you could definitely do it
