I had each at one time. Both are very good balls, but they gave me a totally different look on the lanes.

The Threat was a little longer and a little more tame on the backends. They both hit very well. The THING was stronger at the breakpoint, and was able to handle more oil. It would even cut through carrydown pretty well.

OVERALL I would take the THING over the Threat. It offers better overall performance, and the coverstocks both seem to hold up well, but the soaker on the THING was the best version of the soaker I have tried.


BTW---both had very simliar layouts.

The Triple Threat is just a few boards stronger than the THING. They make a very similiar move off of the breakpoint, and they both hit about the same.

I do not think it would be necessary to have both, unless you were to add surface to the TT. If you were to take it down to like 800 grit wet sand then it would out hook the THING. You would see that simply because of particle vs reactive.
