Is there any difference between these 2 balls?
It apears that the Smoke has a sronger coverstock:
Smoke - F28
Angle - F25
And the Core seems to be the same?

Honestly I don't see much difference at all. You're right, the core numbers are exactly the same and the Smoke appears to have a slightly stronger coverstock. I doubt that there is enough difference to see anything different on the lane.

according to the guys in S.A. the core remains the same, the Smoke has a little stronger cover, now whether it means it will move sooner than the Angle or more off the spot I can not say as I haven't thrown one.

There are a couple of issues here that you guys are missing.
Cover stock composition:
Of the three Angles the two closest to the Smoke I am going to guess are the Red/White and Blue/Red...
If my memory serves me right the R/W is a Reactive/Urethane Blend kind of a hybrid if you will. With there not being as much reactive resin in the cover it seems almost impossible for it to be any stonger than the Smoke especaially since the cover is weaker from the start.
Now with the R/B I believe that one is a Urethane/Poly blend, again a hybrid if you will. I own this ball and wow, what a winner!!! Thanks Tekneek.
This is a ball that when you get on some dry and I mean dry this tool is the mother of all tools. I can play up 10 with out a drop of oil and not worry about the ball over reacting and since it's dry out to my right it rolls in with out hesitation. Basically is a 4-5 board hooking spare ball.
If I getting a Smoke here in a week or two when they are all realeased and I plan to use this on the dry like I was explaining but with a little bit more swing room. I'll post just how well that works out and how it compares to my Angle R/B.

Surface,
You aren't looking at the original post. Yes, there are three Angles. The Red/Silver and Red/Blue are both listed as reactive with the F25 coverstock. The only Angle listed on AMF's website as a blended coverstock is the black ball which is clearly listed as F20. That said Ric Clint was only referring to the Red/Silver and Red/Blue Angles.
Please check AMF's website for any questions that you may have.

Oh, I'm clear.
