Ouch!!!   I like....it's symmetrical and reasonable Rg and differential.  Now that's playable Eric and Phil!  Nice color.

Can we see a better pic of the core?

Thanks for posting Steve!

with a stronger cover I can see why they would have to increase the rg and lowwer the diff, that would be easier than getting the USBC to increase the width of the lanes, lol

Is it an Inferno remake... the ex-Phoenix-core becomes more and more a lookalike of the Brunswick piece?

Code core with density changes, looks similar yet different.

so this should be more agressive then the bounty correct?
Title: Re: Mega Friction Released this week !!!
Post by: tekneek on January 13, 2009, 08:27:41 AM
the cover would be stronger, won't make any statement until I throw it to evaluate it.

come on, give me a chart, video, or something... The suspense is killing me.. I am a new 900 global fan after owning a Bounty/Maniac/Link, so I am waiting on a VG killer! Hope this ball is just that!



vg killer?  please elaborate

I want my share of the bounty but I cant find enough oil for this monster, i dont want to polish it cause it rolls so good now damn I hate dilemmas.

Virtual Gravity.. I have went away from storm, so I want something comparable to the VG out of the AMF/900 global lineup.
Title: Re: Mega Friction Released this week !!!
Post by: tizzle on January 13, 2009, 09:41:35 AM
if it does, that will remind me of the Morich days with the Vanguard core! Those balls had writing everywhere.

haha... great, not to hijack. But with all the crap given to Lane 1 about their advertising, AMF put it on the ball this time with an actuall warning label

My Arsenal:
Bounty(4.5 x 4.75 Fresh 1000 Abralon)
Twisted Fury(5 x 4 500 Abralon + Reacta Shine)
Raw Hammer Pain(Leverage 1000 Abralon)
Blue Vibe(5 x 5 4000 Abralon + Reacta Shine)

tizzle if you are looking for the angularity that the VG provides on a heavy pattern then the s75 break is the way to go but if you want an overall stronger ball period, then the bounty would be the way to go. It doesnt  have the angularity but is way stronger.  I have thrown the virtual and everything in the amf/global line up.  From raw numbers and looks this is amf peice is going to be the amf side of the bounty.  Pure hook in a box and even comes with a warning that it does how ironic.

If I needed/wanted a new ball I would buy this one, purely for the fact that it says: Warning this ball hooks.  That's silly!

When will this ball be released? I don't see any of the usual online pro shops with any pre-sales on this one yet.

tekneek:

Did you get a chance to throw this thing yet? Are there any videos out there for this ball?
Title: Re: Mega Friction Released this week !!!
Post by: tekneek on January 19, 2009, 09:07:37 AM
I threw it for a short time yesterday, but the shot was not a fresh shot, the ball flat just out hooks, as for videos none are out that I'm aware of. I'll pm revTex to see if he is going to do one. I'll throw mine tonight in league to get a better feel of teh ball, knowing it will be a fresh shot. I'll post a mini review Tuesday night since I'll be around the shop and have time to do so.

People are just getting crazy(I do wonder how this would do on the shark though it should make its presence pretty well known).
Title: Re: Mega Friction Released this week !!!
Post by: tekneek on January 19, 2009, 09:13:50 AM
based off the numbers and cover strength I see no reason why it would not work.
JMO, I have a guy in AZ I drill for he has purchased one just for the Shark and longer PBA patterns for regionals, guess we'll have to wait for his feed back.

I will be making a video, but it will not be released until late February/beginning of March. Sadly, when I'm away at school (U.Va.) I don't have the opportunity to bowl -- therefore, there will be no video until my Spring Break. That being said, it will done just as quickly as possible!!!
