Which one would you rather have for heavy and/or long pattern and which one is more suitable for me?

(I think) I have enough funds to buy myself a new toy, and as much as I want a Wild Ride and a Rattler, I think a Maxx or Ultimate remake would suit my need better.

I’ve been reading a few mixed reviews on the Maxx Zone. I have an Ultimate (original) and it still has plenty of life left. I also have a NIB PBA Scorchin’, but since it’s a collector item, I don’t think I’ll be drilling it any time soon.

I’m very happy with my Ultimate, both in fresh med/heavy or heavy THS or tougher/tighter condition. It may not be the biggest hooking ball in the market, but it’s predictable and its rolly characteristic is very similar to my Absolute, which I love.

When the Maxx first came out, I thought I would definitely get one as a ‘step-up’ for my Ultimate, but the mixed reviews I’ve read recently don’t really inspire confidence.

So, shall I spend my hard-earned cash on what I ‘know’, i.e. Ultimate, or is the Maxx just misunderstood and in fact is the greatest thing since slice bread? I also haven’t read many reviews on the Scorchin’, is this a ‘forgotten’ ball?

I’ll also speak to my driller about this, but thought I’d throw the question out there.


ps, My stats - PAP 4’3/16 over 1/8 up, med speed, and I think med to low rev. Prefer pin-down drilling cos I usually need ‘help’ to get the ball to ‘roll’
