Phaze II or Daredevil Trick?
« on: March 10, 2017, 11:17:45 AM »
As you may see from my earlier post, I am very very close to pulling the trigger on purchasing a Phaze II based on current feedback. In fact, I plan to get it Saturday. However, last night I was bowling against a Daredevil, and, politely, it made my opponent look like he knew what he was doing. Several pairs down, another new Daredevil was being used and someone rolled his first 300.
Hmmm.
I can't see the daredevil or the DDT working for me because the diff is too low for my normal game, but the videos are impressive and the DTT looks very similar to the Phaze II. Now I'm wondering. I know the DDT comes out next week and not many have thrown it, but has anyone actually thrown both balls that can highlight any differences for me? IF anything, I need to make the backend move stronger than what I use now (Vandal, Melee Cross, GB2) if that helps.
Thanks

Now I'm a bit confused...North makes it sounds like the NRP handles more oil.. Michael's the other way 'round. ????

There isn't a big difference between the Trick and No Rules Pearl in terms of oil capability. They can work on similar conditions but do things a a little different reaction wise.

The Reckless cover on the Trick is stronger than the Amped on the No Rules Pearl and original Dare Devil. However, the Chaotic core in the No Rules is stronger than the Madcap core

not to hijack a post, but I've always had issues with pearls in oil.  I personally see a big difference in my DDT and NRP in heavy oil conditions.

do you think it could just possibly be the way I throw? obviously without a video there's not much you can tell, but I'm just curious

There are too many variables to just give a straight answer.

 1 person's view of heavy oil is different from another's and every bowler is different. In general, if you're someone with higher axis tilt and/or axis rotation a strong solid cover may help you better on heavier oil than a strong pearl
