The velocity is longer and stronger it is a half solid and half pearl shell, the same coverstock as M80 Bully with a light load of particle added. It handles more oil than triumph and has more of a defined backend almost turns sideways if they backend has enough dry boards.

It is not advertised as half solid and half pearl but it is the red is solid and the silver is pearl, i was informed by amf staffer of these facts.

actually, i heard that the bully & the new maximum velocity will be similar as are the velocity and the big bully. that sounds accurate that they are using the same coverstock on both, just adding particles to the Velocity's. heck, both AMF & columbia use the superflex. Columbia does manufacture AMF's balls.

thanks for the info

Wasn't the Velocity's coverstock supposed to be this new "epoxy" compound?
Or am I remembering incorrectly or will this epoxy cover be on yet another new ball?

Ah. Thank you, strider.

So, Since mrbowlingnut is an informed person, not subject to flights of fancy, I will assume he has the correct lowdown on the Veocity,

The AMF300 website say the Veolcity is a particle,
"The new Velocity core gives you symmetrical predictability with enhanced mass bias performance. Surround it with our new Mach-1 Particle coverstock..."

It is a great looking ball.

I have both the Triumph and the Velocity, IMO the Triumph goes alittle earlier then the Velocity but still has a very good backend reaction. The Velocity has more backend movement but seems easy to miss the breakpoint. I actually prefer the Triumph on Med. conditions and the Velocity and the drier side of Med. The best thing about the Velocity when they start to hook alittle in the heads is you can move as deep as you want and this ball will still turn the corner. Ball plays very well from the inside, plus due to its length can be an absolute wall-wacker. Both are exceptional balls, but I prefer the Triumph.

He is somewhat correct m80=goo=mach 1 i still believe the main difference is the velocity is half solid and half pearl because i own one and it is easy to see it myself. Some a 50/50 ball is not the same and gos longer and stronger on the backend nothing more nothing less. I was told BTW the coverstocks of each of these balls are the same base formula with tweaks to each companies run.
