Clutch vs S75
« on: July 16, 2009, 02:51:01 PM »
I was wondering if anyone can compare the clutch to the Break S75 in terms of strength.  I am assuming the S75 is a little stronger, but are they in the same ball park?  At the moment I use the S75 between my mega friction and code.  If i drilled up a clutch can it fit where the S75 did?

Wait until you read the BTM review for the Clutch and we all get our hands on it to try it. If BTM is accurate the Clutch will make you forget the S75 as far as strength......(though it should fit where you'd like it to)

I agree, especially with the major difference in coverstock strength, 75 for the Break S75 and 55 for the Clutch. I would have my concerns about the accuracy of the review is the Clutch winds up being anywhere near as strong in the midlane and in oil handling as the S75.

With the difference in RG and the 4000 grit finish on the Clutch, it is likely to go longer and have more backend on medium lanes, but let's see what the BTM review says.

yes I agree with charlest, I can't see the Clutch taking the S-75's place. The S-75 is a very strong ball and can handle alot of oil as well as being very versatile.

I do think the Clutch is going to be a very nice ball though. One that will enter my bag

I shined mine a little right over the OOB surface, I'm not a fan of dull, especially when the weight block is as strong as the Clutch. I drilled mine for chasing the oil once the THS disappears. I put the pin right in the ring finger, and stacked the cg and Mb, giving me a 4 x 4 1/2Mb, and a 3/4" x 1 1/2 deep hole 2" below my pap on the VAL...whew, that's a mouthful..I've got about 10 games of practice on this ball in two sessions, one session on mid-day crap after every kid in town has bowled their free games for getting an A on their report card,..and on a nice fresh first thing in the morning shot.

On the crap(I played 22 to 12) this ball really holds it's own.  It revs up right out of my hand, stores for the length of the lane and hits pretty good with a nice arching motion, since there no backends to speak of, carry is still good. The ball really reads the lane well, no jerking or squirting,..and no over-under.  I give it a good B for playing on the crap.  

On the fresh, (THS), this ball looked like a run-a-way Harley on a freeway,...wow. I had the whole lane, I could bump this ball from anywhere, and move right and go straight, and my strike percentage was off scale...for about 5 games of practice it seemed every shot was high flush. I'd try one thing and it would work,...move, change, loft, twist, roll, no matter what it seemed to strike. I have had two balls in the past that I felt i could do what I wanted to do with them, the original V2 and Inferno. This ball give me that feel.  This ball will need something to react too, it will not be a ball for a flood (at least not for me) I plan to use this ball where's there some friction, and I need control, and roll. On the fresh this ball gets an A.
A lot of people are going to like this ball...jime

Sorry to be a little off-topic, but I'm wondering if anyone might be able to at least hazard a guess as to how the Clutch compares to the Columbia Rival.  For me the Rival can handle medium and possibly up to med-heavy at 2000 abralon.  Seems like the Clutch would be close in that sense.

I have to agree with Jim and absolutebowling. The Clutch is stronger in oil than my S75. This ball could have easily been in the high performance category...do not let the 55 coverstock number fool you, because it will if you think that you are getting a mid-range strength coverstock.
