Title: Punisher vs Scream/R
Post by: Ric Clint on January 07, 2005, 09:06:10 AM

I can't get the straight of it?

What are the differences?

I felt the Scream/R rolled too early to be a true Medium/Light Oil ball. And also didn't have the kind of strong backend that I like for my low baby girl revs and slightly end over end release (35-45 degrees of Axis Rotation).

I'm looking for a ball that handles slightly drier lanes (but not dry) and goes longer than the Scream/R... and doesn't roll as early as the Scream/R and also has more backend than the Scream/R... is the PUNISHER the ball I'm looking for?

I don't think so because
- the Punisher has an enhanced N'Control coverstock, and
- the core has greater flare to it than the Scream/R's.

For greater length (milder ball than the ScreamR), I'd suggest trying a Slay/R with a strong drilling, like 4x4, pin under the ring finger type. Slay/R has weak coverstock and medium strength core. Mine is drilled 5x5, pin under center of the bridge gets very good length and mild backend, except when the lanes are very dry. I do not have "baby revs".

Although many people say the Slay/R is very control, if you drill it right it snaps hard. On a fresh THS/wall it snaps harder then just about any other ball I've thrown.
