I heard that the ball that is closest to the Afterburner is the RED Predator Sparkle. I don't really think they're that close at all!

I've heard that the Sparkle is kind of like "an Afterburner with less squirt on carrydown", but I find that to be COMPLETELY opposite! In my oppinion, the red Sparkle would squirt more on carrydown than the Afterburner... Right???


Which is correct???

By the term "squirt", I mean that the ball will skid if it senses any carrydown, and it won't roll thru the carrydown - it will just slide on it.

The coverstock on the Red Predator Sparkle isnt quite as agressive as the cover that was on the Afterburner. The 2 balls do have some similarities, but you would have to lightly gray pad the surface on the Predator to get it to pick up as quick as the Afterburner did.
