Rapid Fire Solid
« on: January 13, 2009, 11:49:36 AM »
I am getting one and will be drilling it pin over middle finger, roughly 5 1/4" pin to PAP. The pin is 3.5-4.0". My span is 4 14/16. Will this work? Also, if I am correct, it has the same cover as the Special Agent with a weaker core, the core that was in the Fired Up and Spit Fire. My Special Agent cracked on me, but if I am able to get another one and drill it the same, it would be 4.75" pin to PAP, pin up. Would the RFS be a good step down?

Good point X-Factor...also, when you apply high gloss to this ball and combine it with a longer pin-to-axis drill, it will get down the lane very easy and bring the heat on the backend.  

Compared to the Special Agent, the Twin-V core is much more aggressive down-lane, whereas the Agent cores are alot more midlane (IMO).

The RF is going to be a lot snappier on the backend than the Special Agent.  I would think they can complement each other very well.  Depending on the volume you can start with the Special Agent, and then switch to the RF when things open up.  If you don't like the snappiness of the RF you can knock the shine off, or hit it with a 4000 pad and it will tame down on the backend and make it very predictable.
