pivot
« on: September 06, 2014, 08:28:24 PM »
I was wondering which ball would break more.  The pivot or the widow legend.  I threw a widow today.  It was nice.  Also threw the new honor.  Unreal ball.  I wanted to stick with one company so I was wondering about the pivot.

Ebonite, Hammer, Track, and Columbia are all made in KY so why limit yourself? IF by break more you mean more backend, the I would think the Legend would have more

The Pivot has more overall hook at box surface.  But, if you were to adjust the surface to match the Legend, then I believe that it would also have more backend.  So it depends on what kind of hook you want; long and strong or early and continuous.

pivot and BW legend are 2 completely different pieces
Pivot at 1500 dull probably has more overall hook like stated above, but it starts to hook much earlier than the BWL
The diff on the BWL is quite a bit higher suggesting a higher flare potential
The BWL OBB is very clean up front and has the majority of its motion downlane

the Pivot point is a polished Pivot i believe, i would have to say that BWL has more backend overall, just my opinion looking at the numbers

as 2Hand834 mentioned, where do you want to see the motion?
Not to be overlooked , the GB2 is pretty strong as well - great ball

Love my Pivot on fresh oil, so smooth and predictable. Legend is a different type of reaction, if you are looking to compliment an Honor, I would go Pivot.
