My Tidalwave came right off the PWBA tour, has the durameter mark on it. Plus we know where it came from. That ball performs steadily no matter if you dull it up or polish it. I've used it in both conditions and its still doing its stuff and predictable. If my center didn't put out over 80 units of oil in the middle of the lane and not much less on the outside, I'd still be using it.
My Tidalwave Wipeout still outhooks most of my contemporary equipment including The One and The Big One. And since my No Mercy is now getting old, it probably will out hook it too. I cashed twice using it at ABC Nationals. Nothing miraculous, but then that was not the ball. But I did get some money back. The backend reaction on this ball is fantastic and again the older reactive resin coverstock never gives up.
My partner has been averaging over 200 (as high as 227) for over 37 years straight and his Tidalwave Wipeout Sparkle hooks too much for him. He's still throwing his Ebonite Reactive 8 Ball.
This line of balls is good and they are still good. I'm with inslyx, the Wipeout is the best of the bunch.
