How much stonger is the Hawg Zilla's cover than the PAINS? Do these balls have similar ball motions?

hawgzilla is an amazing ball, i have both a road hawg and a hawgzilla and two pains... all are totally different balls IMO.
the hawgzilla is an aggressive rolly ball, more so than the pain with stronger hitting power due to the stronger core. it works on a variety of conditions.
the road hawg i have drilled to read the lanes earlier but have it polished as well to keep some back end motion.

The Hawgzilla and Pain aren't even close in ball reaction. Drilled both balls 4 x 3, pin under the ring, 35 degree tilt... identical layouts, so I could get a really good look at them.
Pain is MUCH "flippier" at the breakpoint. The Hawgzilla gives you much more of the typical Zone-type roll, early and smooth. I personally like the Pain much more because the surface can be altered for more of a variety of ball motions and it never seems to "hang" at the breakpoint.
On the pass-around, the heavy handers liked the 'Zilla more because it was more predictable and continuous, while those of us who are more rev-challenged, like the sharper change of direction that the Pain provided.
Hope this helps!
