GP2 vs WMB
« on: March 14, 2005, 03:46:53 AM »
I'm looking to add a heavy oil ball to my tournament arsenal, and I have narrowed it down to two. Which of the two would better suit a heavy shot? The WMB or GP2? Which would have more overall hook in the oil?

Thanks!

Would've also been helpful if I had put my stats in.

Tweener/Stroker (15-16mph)
Med-low revs
PAP: 5 1/2

I have a friend that has both and the GP2 is at least 4-5 boards stronger.

jjweb,

Mitch is dead on. The GP2 is ATLEAST 4-5 boards stronger.

I have a buddy that has each of them laid out about the same, his GP2 is an easy 8 board move left for him.

GP2!   Much stronger overall, 4-5 boards from what I have seen as well.

I have yet to really see a flood. Although I do see some 43' sport shots, where everything slides and nothing grips.

I decided to get the WMB...

Thanks for the help though. When I do see a flood, the GP2 seems like the ball to go with.

I don't have a GP2, but the WOMB isn't for the soup.  A very nice ball, but not for the heavy stuff.  I haven't thrown them side by side, but I'm pretty sure the Animal would handle more oil than the WOMB.

On a side note, my Animal looks rather blah on house shots, but it really shines on the few longer and/or heavier sport shots I've tried.  Seems to give more area than anything else I have.  Area is important enough on a THS, but usually very difficult to come by on a sport shot.
