New lineup
« on: December 22, 2019, 04:27:59 PM »
Ok, time to start drawing some parallels here. I've gotten some recommendations, and watched some videos, looked at numbers, and I think I may have something, but wanna ask.

So I was told this by a good friend that works there.

Alpha
Scorn
Fire
Shock
Supra
Blitz

I was really leaning towards a Ghost at the top, Scorn AND og Villain (they really remind me of the Break), Fire, Shock, Supra and Blitz. He really likes the Assassin and I looked and it's like someone said, it looks very Phase 2 ish.

To replace what's in my bag right now, I'd see the Alpha replacing the Dream On, just less torque, Villians being kinda Break like, Supra being a Drift replacement, Assassin replacing the Night Hawk se, the Blitz being a bigger X, and I really don't have a fire equivalent.

Thoughts? Only carrying 6 or 7 balls to cover everything seems foreign to me lol

I wasn't impressed with the Scorn.  It was very condition specific and did not have a lot of versatility.  A Rogue Blade would be better or possibly a Ghost at 4000. 

What didn't you like about it?

Doom you thrown the Blitz yet?  That ball is easy to fall in love with.  Carry for days.

Keep an open mind on the Recoil.  Much more versatile than you would think going only off stats.

Doom
For me the Scorn was way over under even after making various surface changes.  I have thrown mostly Motiv for several years.  It is hard to go wrong with any of the Jackals.  I have not thrown the Fire, but it looks very good.  The Venom Shock is a staple is most Motiv users bags.  I have not thrown the Blitz, but people seem to like it.  I wasn't impressed by the carry for lower rev rates.  Right before release date I bowled against a staffer who has some PBA titles.  He shot 556 and the ball just didn't look good.

Where is there going to be a test drive demo? Would love to test some of these out myself.
