Vibes
« on: November 09, 2007, 02:08:58 AM »
Just curious about what differences other people have seen between the Cherry and Blue Vibe?  How would you compare the two in ball reaction?

Also, how would they compare to a ball like the T-Road Pearl?  The T-Road Pearl breaks pretty hard off of the friction area for me.  I was thinking about trying one of the Vibes for a smoother reaction when it encounters friction.  Any opinions on which might be better?

Thanks
Chuck

Both will be smoother. The Cherry will be more skid/snap and the Blue will arc evenly. Both would go under your T-Road Pearl.

I agree with K-Dawg. I have both the Cherry and T-Road Pearl. The Cherry definitely goes under the T-Road Pearl.

Thanks for the replies.  Is the Cherry Vibe skid/snap to the point where you are better off playing inside angles with it?  Just trying to judge which Vibe would be better for me.  Sounds like the Blue Vibe for more of a smooth arcing motion.

Jonathan,
Is the Cherry Vibe much smoother than your T-Road Pearl, at the breakpoint?

Thanks
Chuck

The CV is a controllable and predictable skid/snap and depending on the conditions, you can play many angles. It works for me on swings and down and in.

cd: The cherry can be skid snappy depending on the lane condition. Plus it depends how you lay it out and etc.. The Blue Vibe which i have also is smoother but of course rolls a little earlier then the Cherry. The Cherry is smoother then the T-Road.
