Hi guys,

After being highly pleased with my Ogre Pearl I now need something stronger to complete my ball "arsenal". At the moment it is only the Ogre Pearl(, a pretty dead Storm Shift which I use for light/dry conditions) and a Virtual Gravity (both box fnish). The current problem is that sometimes the Ogre Pearl is not strong enough but there is still not enough oil for the virtual gravity(although both balls would be playable with speed adjustments...). So I wanted anything in between because the virtual is not one but two steps up of the Ogre Pearl. A friend of mine bought the solid Ogre and the ball really is a beast @ 600 grit.

Now the problem is I also wanted to differentiate my arsenal in terms of differential, not only coverstock and I also really like the AMB-Core design + could maybe get the AMB at a great price

.

So my question is: How strong is the cover of the AMB-Solid? At the same grit-level, which one would be stronger, the ogre solid or the amb solid coverstock? With which one should I go?
I couldn't get my hands on the BTM-review of the AMB Solid so maybe if anyone can give me at least the numbers of this particular ball review?

With a solid ball in the middle of my arsenal I also wanted to bring down the virtual to 1000 abralon to make it a "real" heavy oil ball.

Another idea I had was going with the original Cell because it is "modern technology" but I am not sure about that? What are your thoughts? Is the AMB-Solid comparable to the cell in terms of oil handling (coverstock) although it is older?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Just added my stats to my profile

Any more input to the AMB-Solid is of course appreciated

Let me see if my buddy has a vid of his Centaur, his rev rate is about yours but his ball speed is about 17...

My specs are quite similar to yours. From what I've seen and experienced the AMB Solid is just a weeeeee bit less aggressive than the virtual gravity. if your going to get the AMB Solid then first thing I would do is take the coverstock to around 4000 grit abralon. Thats actually what I have mine at. and at that point you should be far enough away from the virtual gravity that you don't have to worry about overlap. Honestly though, the Gladiator Solid is probably a better choice in this case. But if you want something with that rediculous differential then the AMB is your ball of choice

Thanks for your input. Why do you think the gladiator would be better sin this case? Because of the differential? Or also because of the more aggressive coverstock of the AMB-Solid?

Thanks

I haven't looked at it like this.
Also that you are 3-4 boards deeper with the AMB Solid is pretty nice to know.

So thanks for all your opinions on this on. I will report later on what ball I bought
