I have drilled the Venom Panic, and I like it, but for me on Stone Street, it just pushes a little more than I like.   I have it drilled something like 30 x 4.5 x 50.

I was thinking about drilling the Forza Redline.  When I look on Motiv's website, they have the Venom Panic listed on Med/Dry and the Redline on Med.

Redline and Panic appear to have the same factory finish.  Redline is listed as Pearl, and Panic as solid (probably).  Redline diff is .051 (15lb), and Panic is 0.34 (15 lb).  So all that looks okay, and reasonable.

When I go to BowlingThisMonth and compare the two.  The hook rating is larger for the Panic. 

Does anybody out there have similar drillings on the two and can tell me what they see from the two balls in comparison to one another?  Perhaps if I need something earlier, the Forza Redline isn't a great option since it is a pearl (without changing the cover).

Thanks,

Thanks Matt,

I appreciate your response.

I have a bit more tilt than most, so I need things to start up a little earlier on most longer patterns.  My Sigma Sting works pretty well for me on our version of Stone Street, but I can't get too aggressive with it, or I never carry. 

On the converse though, I have tried my Brunswick Masterpiece, and at box finish it seems to burn up early for me.  So I am looking for that "magic" surface/cover combination that allows me to get early enough roll, but not too early.  At least that is what my old eyes/brain are telling me.
