What other AMF has the Mega Friction wieghtblock?
« on: July 08, 2009, 08:33:19 AM »
Looking for a ball that has the Mega Friction weight block, hopefully a pearl or a polished solid.

Thank you,

The core found in the Mega Friction is a slight tweak of the core found in the Code.

The Sideways takes this core and makes it a higher RG and Diff. by adding a puck to the bottom of the MF core.

Not entirely sure what AMF considers the cover on either of these balls, but both would appear to be pearls.

Would putting a puck on the bottom of the weightblock increase differental?

In the case of the Sideways, it appears to have increased differential and RG.

Mega Friction - RG 2.50, Differential 0.042
Sideways -      RG 2.56, Differential 0.055

Thank you J_Mac.  Where can I read about the Sideways?

No problem.  If you look further back in the AMF forum you might find more on it than the AMF site has to say.  Not really a lot of info out there at the moment.

Also, FWIW, it doesn't appear on the PBA or USBC approved list yet.

I just want a pearl to compliment the Mega Friction.  I really like the Mega Friction weight block and the direction that AMF is going.

The code is a hybrid, the N-code is the assymetric version, also a hybrid. I just drilled an MF, cant wait for the shark in a few weeks.

After a couple of games in oil, the MF tames a touch, gets more length, but the way the ball reads the break point is outstanding.

J_Mac,

I would think that the puck on top of the weight block would increase the dif more.  Make it more of a flip ball.  the weight block might add dif, but whats the difference between a puck on the bottom of a weight block as compared to a puck on top of the weight block, of coures using the same weight block and ball.

From what i have been reading they already have with the AMF Sideways, just came out, it has same core only with flipblock on it, and a higher diff and RG.

Eric said this was made to be a compliment to the Mega Friction. This is the strongest pearl cover on any 900 or AMF pearlized ball so far at F75.

It will be in my bag, I can assure you that.
