Have a train already and love the smooth look it gives me. The only issue is if I keep moving in I'll eventually reach a point where it won't make the corner. I just got my hands on a Shred/It and was hoping it would fit the bill. I'm hoping to use a similar drill and let the differences between the balls dictate reaction.

Anyone?

The Shred-it, after reading the numbers, finishes, and cover strength, is going to be a touch longer due to the stronger cover and finish of the Train. The Shred-it is close to the train as far as numbers but the finish and the weaker cover get it to push longer. With that said, the Shred-it should be close to what you are wanting. However, i would look for a better replacement. Maybe The Look or the Freight Train, as they are going to give you what you more of what you are looking for. As a matter of fact, that is what the Freight Train was designed for. As you are moving in, one of those 2 balls. If you're looking for something weaker, then the Shred-It will come more into play.

Well you don't mention your drilling. I usually find balls not making the corner are a function of the drilling or if a ball has real small differential.
The Train is fully loaded with horsepower so I'm guessing your drilling is not appropriate for the inside angle.
Oh, I have a shred it....Not drilled to go real deep and corner but it is SWEET on shallow angles. Just the way I drilled it! A real nice ball!
Pin up a good ways and stacked. Polished with Brunswick polish and under surface is 4000.

PS I am sure I could set this Shred it ball up to be a lot more. It is a good one and potentially very strong on medium oil?

Righties would understand where you are coming from especially in 5 man leagues where lanes transition and heads blow up....wrongsiders not so much.
I believe you are headed in the right direction with your hypothesis. Train is a very smooth reacting ball with slower response time and rolls hard. Shred-It a bit more backend and harder off the spot with faster response time. This is what you may need. Slightly more length and faster response time or add axis rotation is your fix for this. Also look at ball speed.

What?
I am righthanded...by the way...

PS by the way, my AMF Shred it at 4000 with Brunswick Factory polish is drilled much like the AMF OMG pearl in this video. Very similar reaction on the left! It might be ideal for the slightly different conditions on the right described above by Scott33.
