Twoheadedboy, have you personally thrown each layed out similarly on the same pattern. Well I have. While the hook rating shows a great disparity between the two balls they are quite similar. The cores of the rampage and smokin are somewhat similar with the largest difference being in the elevated rg avg. of the Rampage. The covers, the largest determining factor in a balls reaction, is quite close as they are both pearls designed to be very snappy (the activator advance is not really much stronger than the powrkoil 18). This data would lead one to believe that the Rampage is slightly cleaner through the fronts, which it is, and slightly weaker which it also is. Beyond that, with respect to break point shape the balls are almost identical. For me out of box, drilled almost the same there was too much overlap which lead me to polish the Rampage and take the Smokin down to 2000 grit. After changing the surface prep these balls compliment each other extremely well and are currently back to back in my arsenal.
