BWP vs Doom vs Cherry Vibe
« on: November 26, 2007, 05:55:20 AM »
I have the BWP and CV and they look very similar on a reg house pattern.
Of course the BWP rolls a little earlier but the CV on Dry backends is awesome.
So i have changed the surfaceon the BWP to make the reaction different. Now i am looking at the Doom to try. Let me know your experiences and opinions of how these match up against each other. Thanks.

House patterns are like the big equalizer in bowling. Most of bowlingballs will roll too similar to produce any gap.
The Doom between or under the BWP and the CV? I doubt you will need it for any THS.
The Dooom over the BWP? This is a difficult thing to tell without knowing how you changed your BWP.
At last most people will agree the Doom is the most versatile and best deal out of this trio.

I polished my CV because it was way too close in OOB condition to the BWP. Gave it a good coat of Beans Sauce and now I've created some seperation.

The BWP is probably going to be little stronger on the back end than the DOOM.  Both of these balls can probably handle the same amount of oil.

The CV is under both of these balls.  It's going to get the most length and is more of a light oil ball.

All three of these balls will have plenty of back end power.  Of course a lot of this depends on the layouts but the DOOM should is a great ball for tougher lane patterns.  I'm not sure about the other two when it comes to the tougher patterns.

From my experiences (I have owned all three) the Doom is the snappiest, the Cherry is mellow but stronger than expected though about a board or two less than the Doom.

The BWP is the strongest overall and also the earliest for me, its pretty round for a pearl but is very aggressive and continues very strongly through the backend of the lane.

Ok. Here are my layouts

Given those layouts and on a THS the CV has the most length and the sharpest angle off the spot. The Doom and BWP have similar midlanes but the Doom makes a move a bit sooner and is just as snappy.
