Which of these is the better ball
« on: March 09, 2005, 04:24:31 AM »
Big Deal, Vertigo, Absolute Inferno, or Gp2. Which is the better ball overall, and which has the most backend.

Gut feel...but I would say the Big Deal should be the most versatile out of that group.

There is no 'better' ball.  All of them will serve their purpose and it depends who's using it because each bowler matches up differently to each ball or company.  They're all excellent balls, so here's a question for you: What conditions do you bowl on?  Length of oil? Amount of oil? What is your ball speed? rev-rate? tilt? rotation? and what do you want the ball to do?

Agree on the absolute as the most versatile.

Yup no such thing as a better ball....but the Big Deal has more backend hook than the rest because of the Cut-Throat coverstock.....

Nope no way to answer the backend part either.  He didn't specify which type of oil he wanted the most backend on.  I know a particle ball will have more backend on heavy oil than a reactive pearl and the opposite of course is true for lighter oil.  So backends of these balls can't be compared unless some form of oil description is given.  All four balls would all have different backends on different volumes of oil.  Like I said the question as asked has no answer and is impossible to answer. The leader has spoken I shall type no more.

Well I was looking for something to fill a void for me. And at the same time I wanted something new to be honest. I have low axis tilt and i throw the ball about 16mph, I am a tweener. I bowl at about 2 or three houses. One has flying backends, the other has fair backend but they put a little more oil down. The other house on bowl at takes away ten and you have some juice in the middle. I currently have a rule, xception, big blue pearl, blazing inferno, trauma er, full throttle, recharge, and a used but undrilled ultimate inferno. I was considering getting rid of the full throttle and recharge and replacing them with something. I wouldnt mind having something stronger than the xception but able to be used as a benchmark ball on heavier shots. I currently use my rule for heavier conditions because in its out of box shape it only works on synthetics, everything else is dead straight. So I could use something stronger than the rule for soup and I could use something stronger than the xception but somewhere close to my wet sanded trauma er.
