If you have a good eye for ball reaction and can see the slight differences, you CAN actually see the Absolute picking up sooner.  The release target as well as the target at the arrows for both balls are very similar.  Have you ever noticed differences when you go to switch balls that are very different and try to use the same line?  If I'm having trouble with a ball checking up early or having trouble coming back, say like my Tsunami, and I switch to my Smokin Inferno and play the same line, you can SEE the ball get through the heads better before it starts to rev or move, and the backend is greater, but it also will be a board to a few boards further right without me changing a thing.  If you have a ball that hooks later, and you're playing an inside line with more of a skid/snap line than an even arcing one, logic states that it will travel further right than a ball that hooks earlier, even though they're on the same line.  A ball that starts at 35 feet may only get out to 10 or 11, but a ball that starts at 41 or 42 feet, if thrown on the same line, would get out as far as 6.  This is why the Radical gets out 3 to 4 boards further than the Absolute.  The bowler they use for the testing has a shot that will EASILY and clearly show you differences in ball reaction that other bowlers might not or won't notice.  Take a much higher rev bowler with more speed and forward roll, and it would blend the differences between the balls rather than illustrate them.
