Sidewinder-Rampage
« on: September 14, 2007, 12:48:48 AM »
Would the Sidewinder replace a Rampage?

I know that you can still get the Rampage, but was thinking about the Sidewinder. Just wondering what you all thought...

With the Sidewinder's low particle load it will read the lane slightly earlier, allowing it to handle more head oil and carrydown.  It really reacts much like the Absolute Inferno as far as shape.  This ball is way underpriced.  A few nights ago it saved my set because of it's predictability as the lanes got a little spotty.  I've also tried it polished more than the box finish, and even duller depending on how much oil I was enountering.  Nothing but positive to say about this one.

Actually, Sidewinder > Ambush.  I've seen the two thrown side-by-side, and in box finish, and the 'Winder is stronger in the mids.

Also, Sidewinder >> Rampage.  I suppose you could polish the 'Winder and scuff the Rampage to get them close to each other, but why bother?

Sidewinder = Ambush
--------------------
Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!

It replaced the Ambush, but other than the cover and the core being different... they both say Brunswick.
The reactive part of the cover is part solid/part pearl. The Rocket core is also different.  The Ambush was a nice ball, but the Sidewinder is an improvement.
