Description: The Forza Redline is the second coming of the Forza itself, underneath its Helix Pearl Reactive shell is the Torx core which was also used in the original. This ball was created for the purpose of providing more length than the original Forza, and also to provide you with more control than the Octane. I have personally dubbed this ball Yellow Glory.
Out of box surface: 5000 Grit LSS
Layout: 4 x 4 1/2 (no weight hole)
Ball Reaction: The Redline is smoother up front more than the original Forza, the difference being the cover it is wrapped in. The ball motion is simple smooth and is versatile enough to handle any desired condition minus the extremes, a phenomenal benchmark ball. Key uses for the Redline are those situations when you feel your Primal Remix is reading the friction to early, or your Jackal is too big for the desired condition. Yellow glory fills this spot.
Comparisons
Forza: The glaring difference is the length between the two; the Redline is longer as the oob surface is 5000 glass. A glorious perk for the Redline is that what it does encountering friction; a moderate controlled motion whereas the original would give you that strong early move up front. Overall the Forza hooks more than the Redline, but the Redline has more length and backend built in to it.
Octane: The Octane has more backend and has more angularity built into it, the stand out difference being the ball reaction as a whole. The Redline is control throughout the entire lane and doesn’t have a big backend presence like the Octane; but it does hook more than the Octane. The Octane is a little cleaner than the Redline and has a faster response time to the friction.
Panic: The length between is roughly the same, however overall the Redline hooks more than the Panic. Because the Redline hooks more than the Panic it reads the friction earlier unlike the Panic, in terms of backend reaction that goes in favor of the Panic.
Summary: I’m a fan of the original Forza because it was a medium ball that could function as a heavy oil ball for me, the solid mid lane roll and continuation is what I enjoyed. I am even bigger fan of the Redline because instead of going Forza-Tag I can go Forza-Redline, and in most cases I can go Redline-Tag. I get the same solid performance out of the Redline that I got out of the original Forza, and being bright yellow it is most eye-catching rolling down the lanes. The Redline has multiple functions except the extremes as I mentioned earlier, to me making it a phenomenal benchmark ball. The Redline is a ball that should be the first ball you throw in practice before actual battle, as it will inform you of what ball you should throw including the ball itself. Every bag has a benchmark ball inside it. I encourage you make the Redline yours.
Your game will thank you for it.
