Title: Cheetah
Post by: NJStroker on August 09, 2007, 12:08:29 PM
Hey everybody, i am posting this here because one of my balls is a brunswick pba inferno. I have a pba inferno, and a paradigm passion, both at 600. I was just wondering which one would be best for the cheetah. I am a pretty low rev player, about 250, 15 mph and a med-high tracker. Thanx a lot.

Ok, thanks everybody, i am sorry, its the new one, the grey and white one. I was thinking about throwing some delayed reaction on one of them, should that help decrease the backend reaction?

It decreases them; you'd need to ALMOST kill the reaction on any of these - depending on how much hand you have and how they are drilled.  Also a lot depends on the lane surface and which of the Cheetah patterns they apply. (It seems like there is or was a few of them; not all play the traditional way: way outside.)

The cheetah pattern could play very difficult if a house has a synthetic overlay and the outside edges slope towards the gutter. If that happens you will not be able to play the gutter. From my experiences on the cheetah pattern, my best reaction was having the ball at the 1,2, or 3 board at the breakpoint.

Any of them could work or none might work.  It is more important to get squared up outside and play the right trajectory than it is to worry a lot about ball selection.  The main thing is to stay awaqy from shiny stuff.


I like 1000 or 2000 grit surface to smooth the roll

Ok, i will try and get there early to have one of my balls brought up to 2000 or 4000. Just wondering, my inferno is snappier than my passion, which one would be better to do that too.
