Nick, when do we see the TI in Rough Buff?
« on: November 28, 2006, 09:27:56 AM »
I need to make a choice soon between the Total and showing No Mercy to the pins, SHOW ME THE ROUGH BUFF BABY!  I want that Total, but I'm not sure its strong enough.

I just got one the other day via Pro Source, and it came with the true Rough Buff finish, as well as a smaller Total Logo. I sold it to my lefty pal, he is crushing with it right now.

As far as a video... we'll see!

Its a different ball, thats for sure. With any ball, when you go from a high gloss to a duller surface, you change the overall hook potential and breakpoint shape.

Thank you for a little info on what to expect.  I have seen the No Mercy being a bit touchy.  Now for the rest of my questions..

1) is the cover going to be the oil sponge that activator plus was, meaning that i have to soak it in hot water every 40 games or so to keep it alive?

2) What will the general changes in shape be on the lanes with Rough Buff? I'm thinking Vapor on roids to be honest.

3) If its 2-3 boards more than the NM, where is it moving more?

O and I have never bought hammer anything so yeah its Brunswick that I WANT to buy, but god are the Hammers looking good.

LOL...I know you work for Brunswick and all...but there is no way that a symmetric pearl ball is stronger then a asymmetric solid ball, sorry...

You go ahead and drill a TI with a label drill and do the NM with one as well...2-3 boards ?

LOL

Sure have MegaMav !...I myself own a No Mercy and my team mate (Brunswick center manger, gets his stuff early) has the Total...The Total looks good and all, don't misunderstand what I saying...

Rick said the Total is 2-3 boards stronger then the No Mercy...With the same drill there is NO way that is happening, lol...You know that, I know that...Most of this board knows that.

There are 2 completely different balls....A blind man could see which hooks more...Not that the most hook wins or anything....

conspirator300 I beleive you need analyz my post(s)..I never said NOTHING about amount oil did I ?

NOPE

Amount of boards covered goes to the stronger ball, right ?

Where on the lanes the boards are covered is the variable...


To the original poster, crankncrash -

Please post this in the Hammer forum and see what they say as well, before you make you buying decision

Show me one topic.

On top of that, to make a statement that a solid is stronger than a pearl or a symmetrical core ball is weaker than an asymmetrical is a very uneducated statement as well.


Then way even make different covers (solids, pearl, particle pearl, plastic) and cores....If they all can do the same thing ?

"Hey man my new (insert ball here) with its new duron plastic cover and pancake weightblock out hooks your (insert other ball here) with it's 320 grit finished particle cover and .99 diff (.50 mb) weightblock ! HAHA

Octane Gription has a new additive that allows it to responds to friction differently


Thats it !...Thats what I was waiting for ! The marketing mumbo jumbo

quote:
Back to spreading my Brunswick blasphemy.


Your suppose to, you work for them.


Back to the TI vs NM...Why don't you post how the balls were drilled and cover preps ? What lane condition they were compared on ?

I'm pretty sure you agree that would help the original poster as well, instead of just saying, "this ball is 2-3 boards stronger"
