King Quantum - Anyone Else Play With Them?
« on: March 12, 2008, 06:52:14 AM »
So - I've had a couple of King Quantums drilled up, and the reaction wasn't what I expected. Most of the available information stated that this ball was Activator+ with an OI core, making it essentially a different colored Absolute Inferno. However, that has not been my experience at all. My initial impression led me to believe that it might be Activator, not "+", since it was not even close to the strength of similarly drilled AI. I've played with different surfaces, and compared it to both the OI and the AI, and I'm thinking at this point that it might be Activator+, BUT, a harder version. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but since it was designed for the overseas market that may be the case. I don't have a Shore-D Durometer to test my theory.

So - let's explore this further if possible or if anyone cares:

1) If someone has a King Quantum and access to a durometer, please test it.
2) Anyone else who's punched out and used a KQ, post your results.

OH - Did I say that even though it's not what I expected I like it?
I settled on keeping it higly polished, and it's a great step down ball. Good control and hit. Clears the heads nice but a tamer backend than the Twisted. I threw it for a few games on the Scorpion pattern and it was $$$ playing a tight shot up 10-11. It also plays nicely right on the edge of the wall on a THS.

My favorite drill pattern. Pin is above my ring finger, CG kicked out slightly to between 1/2  to 3/4  positive, although since it’s a Brunswick ball we all know that this doesn’t matter. No weight hole. I am a fairly high tracker, so this puts the pin at around 5-1/2 to 6 from my PAP.
