Question
« on: May 23, 2009, 03:03:50 PM »
I would like to try out the Break S75 but I have a doubt that is stopping me from doing that. I know that Lane#1 balls are poured by 900Global but after the switch I no longer matches up with Lane#1 balls so my main concern is will I be able to match up with 900Global balls ? Or am I just thinking too much ?
Next question is what is the difference in ball reaction between the Break S75 as compares to the Virtual Gravity or the Dimension ? Thanks !

If you want to try it I would and don't be worried about it.  Just because you don't match up with Lane #1 after the switch does not mean you will not match up with 900Global.  They do pour Lane #1 but that is all they do.  Lane #1 still has their own coverstock formula's and they design the weight blocks.  900Global uses their own formula's.  So you will still have 2 completely different coverstocks.  I say give it a try and I am sure you will not be disappointed.  Just remember that if you do get the S75 that it has the soaker coverstock so it will take about 20 games for the coverstock to really start working full strength.

As far as the second question I cannot answer that one as I only use AMF and 900Global equipment.

"Soaker" is a reactive formula that Phil came up with while he was running Dynothane.  

A regular reactive ball will eventually lose reaction due to oil saturation.  Phil somehow figured out the answer to that.  There are reports of guys having 1000+ games on a ball, not cleaning them, and having no loss in reaction.  These balls also have a break-in period of around 20 games.  So for the first 20 games or so, your reaction will be not so good, and then the ball will come to life.

What is weird for me is that the s-75 was never stronger than the 1st day I drilled it. And it did lose its reaction after about 100 games and I had to do oil extraction. Now it is still very strong but not like the day I first drilled it. OOB for me this ball out hooked and continued better than a Virtual Gravity. Probably can handle a little less oil than the Dimension, but it will cover more boards overall.

After discussion with my Pro shop owner, he suggested that I go for the Bounty rather then the S75....is the Bounty a good choice ?

That depends on the condition you want to use the ball on...
The S-75 might be a better choice, unless you want a ball for a flood..
