Comparison thoughts between Karma(Pink) and Misfit
« on: March 28, 2012, 03:03:59 PM »
We have the thrilling task of having to bowl the 1120am minors at Nationals this year. I currently have a Misfit which I love when the lanes break down. I would like to maybe pick up a Karma Pearl for Minors but wonder if it would over lap with the Misfit too much.  Any help is greatly appreciated

The Misfit and Karma Pink / Purple Pearl would have a similar reaction on the lanes.  The Karma Pearl would be able to handle a little more volume of oil than the Misfit.  If you are looking for something above the Misfit, I would suggest a Too Reckless or a Massive Damage.

How does the Green/Blue Pearl Karma compare to these two?

Thanks Brandon, I'm actually looking to go the other way., I want something underneath the Misfit.  This is the first year we have had to bowl the 11:20 minors and I.m worried about the lanes being fried. Thanks again  for the info

What's the layout on your misfit?...without that info, there is no way of knowing if the karma will be a good step down. Even then, odds are you will be able to go with a lower flaring pin position to create a decent transition from the misfit.

My Misfit has the pin anout an inch over the center of the bridge and the cg is a 1/4 of an inch to right of the center line.

If you are looking for something under the Misfit and Purple / Pink Karma, I would suggest a Damage.  The original Damage has a higher RG and will get down lane further than a Misfit.  Or, the Blue / Green Karma would be a good choice as well.  Both of these balls have the Powerkoil 18 coverstock which is smoother reacting when reaching the friction.
