Twisted Fury vs X Factor
« on: January 14, 2008, 07:13:27 AM »
I am back to my days of being a bowling ball Ho once again as I was 3 years ago. But this time, I am going to have some limits to how many I buy and what lane conditions I really need one for. I pretty much sold all my balls I once had 3 years ago, but kept one of the balls that seem to fit my style and the lane conditions I see the most in basic league play. That is my Storm X Factor.

Having not used my X Factor for 3 years, and putting plenty of games on it during the time, it seemed to have lost what I use to have with back in 2003 and had a terrible start to the 2007-08 season. But instead of buying a new ball, I had it resurfaced and bingo, my old fav was back and again matching up well with the conditions I see. But it is time to look at a new ball that might be a tad earlier then my X Factor especially the first game of the block.

So I started to look at what's out there, and two balls seem to have stood out to me that I have my eye one. One is the Black Widow Solid, and the other is the Twisted Fury, with the Twisted really screaming out at me that it is like my X Factor but maybe a tad stronger and a tad earlier in mid lane roll....This sounds perfect to me IF this is really the case about the Twisted Fury.

The rating numbers on BTM for the X Factor and the Twisted seem to second my thoughts. Mian difference being less flair (X Factor 0.056 to the Twisted 0.036) and more backend with the Twisted.

Twisted                X Factor
 RG - 3.6              RG - 3.7
Diff/Flare - 5.5       Diff/Flare - 8.3
Torque - 6.5           Torque - 6.5
Length - 13            Length - 13
Back end - 15          Back end - 15
Total Hook - 48        Total Hook - 42

To those who have throw both, how would you compare the two? Does the Twisted seem to be an X Factor on Roger Roids? Does it seem to be better suited for more conditions then the X Factor? Would one drill it like the way my X Factor is drilled?

Tell me your thoughts please.....Need to cure a fix.....a ball Ho'ing fix that is before the end of the season.

Oh yea, before I read the quote, "Keep buy those balls, one for sure will have a 300 in it" Your quote is so true and I was lucky enough to buy one of those balls! My X Factor!

Thanks for your thoughts and help...........TheGom

Go to Brunswicks site....go to the ball section....then twisted fury and watch the video.  Comparison of Twisted Fury and Fury Pearl.

It it they explain the goal of the Twisted fury and how the Fury pearl forces feet deeper and SHOW it!

My guess is Fury Pearl is earlier than the X factor  but the Twisted is straighter.  That is its goal.

All 3....very good balls....just different!

REgards,

Yes, I saw that Vid, plus another one that compared the Pearl and the Twisted together. Both were excellent video's to watch.

Thanks Double L
