Title: Opinion of Break Point Solid???
Post by: Track900 on August 16, 2012, 12:06:45 PM: I have a NIB Break Point Solid that ive had just sitting in the box going on 2 years now. My question to all of the Global/AMF fans out there, is what should I expect from this ball, reaction wise. I was a huge AMF fan back in the original Nighthawk,Slam,Hawk, Menace Tour, Angle Evolutions, and all 3 of the Triumphs. Im just curious if anyone can give me a comparison of how the ball motion of the Break Point solid will be compared to older AMF stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The BP has S73, if I remember correctly, so the cover is plenty strong. Plenty of move off the spot, and will get down the lane quite well. Check out the Black Eagle video that videoballreviews has on youtube, but then realize that the Black Eagle is only S70.

It stores energy very well for a solid and makes a pretty sharp move off the spot. I don't see a lot of continuation with this ball - it makes a sharp move and then just picks up a strong roll into the pocket (but not a continuous hooking motion).
I have been very, very impressed with this ball!!

The Break, Break S75 and Break Outs had the same core shape but different densities than the two Break Points. Where the S75 and Break Out had low RGs and high differentials (2.489, 0.058), the two Break Points had higher RGs and lower differentials (2.535, 0.040). So, you can expect different hook points and hook shapes from these balls. I absolutely love my Break Point solid!

Post by: Impending Doom on August 17, 2012, 10:03:50 AM: .015 on the 15 lb. The original Break core is .024. E, good call on that. Lower diff, higher RG, stronger cover, weaker MB. That would tell me that it could hook and stop. I just know that I love my Break series. Honestly, I think I could make 4 of them usable on ANYTHING short of absolute burn.
