riot vs mission and dark star vs hi road
« on: March 16, 2010, 03:29:21 PM »
now this is my opinion so lets all keep this in mind but the riot is a big package in a small box. for the money now other ball will hook this much and be this controllable. if anyone is looking a ball to do what you make it do and not have to worry about having an over under than drill this ball. i tell my customers that i will put my riot up against any MISSION. especially for price value, now i agree the mission is a great ball but why pay up to $100 more for a mission when you can save and get the RIOT.

now for my two cents on the dark star. i have been searching for a ball to actually skid flip for me in a neck breaking way. the last ball that would do it for me was the hi road, and now i have a dark star which is alot like the hi road but a tad bit weaker not much at all. i call the dark star a baby hi road due to they both get down the lane great and have an amazing backend reaction that i personally love. also the dark star doesnt have to over aggressive backend like the hi road def. alot more controllable and the answer to anyone who had trouble with the hi road being too strong.

now being this is a quick throw together review my point here is i want to see how you feel about this? who agrees with me and who disagrees and why?

This is on a ths correct... results might be a bit different on a flat pattern!

Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag.. A bright red Mission, a Nasty Spider, something to break the Lanes with, and a green Avalanche.. how can I lose?

Yeah... the riot and darkstar are no where near as aggressive as the mission... I don't know how you have yours drilled, but in a straight up comparison.. it won't be anywhere close... Maybe on a ths lighter condition maybe, but on something with real oil... not even close.. The riot will move alot because of its surface... but no where near the mission. I have seen the riot thrown as well as the darkstar.. and even the mutant moved more then both of them, so I'm not seeing how the mission wouldn't move more then them?

The Mission is a great ball, and I like mine, but it's not close to as strong on a sport pattern as a Mutant. Maybe on a THS, but when it matters they are two different balls. I would agree though that the Mission is stronger than the Riot and Dark Star, but it's still a pure medium length/volume ball.

I thought the plethora of ball A vs ball B threads were bad......

Now we have a Ball A vs B vs C vs D?

This place is simply amazing.

Put three holes in it and throw it.  THS isn't hard.

I like throwing Roto/Storm stuff just as much as the next guy, however there is no way possible that a Riot is as strong as a Misson.
