Title: Super Carb Bomb
Post by: brickstone on April 06, 2015, 02:14:51 PM

I have an older one of these, rarely used until now.  Having some issues on drier surface.  Any experiences out there with this?

The Super Carbide Bomb has a very high differential weight block, along with a solid particle cover. For it to work properly you need a decent bit of oil. It is definitely not for dry conditions.

It needs a freaking flood or a high speed fluffer to make it work.
If I recall correctly, it had a 5% load of particles, which was consider a heavy load.
Dry? Fuggedaboutit!

Wrong tool for the job with this one! My buddy still has this ball in rotation. What a monster!

I agree with what everyone had to say. The SCB was designed as a ball for the heaviest of the heavy (back then) due to its strong core and VERY strong coverstock. As such, using it on dry isn't the way to go unless you throw the ball 20+ mph, have zero revs, or are deliberately trying to make the ball flame out early to control flying backends.

I have one. The person I bought it from sanded to 4000. I haven't thrown an out of box one so I can't compare it. I probably get a bit more length and it turns hard on the dry once it get through the oil.
