Hey what is the difference between the Cherry Vibe and the Blue vibe? Whats better for dry lanes?

If both balls are drilled the same way, the Blue Vibe is much stronger than the Cherry Vibe IMHO.  The Blue Vibe has the CT Reactive coverstock, which is very aggressive, while the Cherry sports the Max Length Reactive, which is a little tamer and allows it to get down the lane a little further than the Blue Vibe.  Don't be fooled, though, both of these balls are very strong, and really don't match up well with true dry conditions.  They are best suited for a medium oil condition, and the Blue will work well even on a medium-heavy oil pattern.  If you want a dry lane ball, go with a Power Groove or Tropical Storm, or even look at the Lane #1 XXXL for a bone dry pattern before buying either of the Vibes.  Both Vibes are great balls that give you awesome bang for the buck, just not for dry lanes.  I hope this helps!

original was a bit longer than cherry and very snap-tactular, not quite as much ball overall.
