Momentum / Rival Comparison Final Results!!
« on: July 09, 2008, 12:40:44 AM »
I have both a Momentum and a Rival, they are both drilled Pin to PAP of 4", under the ring, cg 3" from PAP.  My Momentum is a great ball, shot 300 in my state tourney, and the surface is at 4000 abralon with no polish.  It gives me very, very, good length with a strong continuos backend.  Great ball for medium blend house shot, and the Viper.

My question is this:  What surface should I go with on my Rival?  I want the ball to be stronger in the midlane than my Momentum, but still have a good backend move.  When the Momentum starts to push a little, or leave some flat coners, I want to be able to switch right over to the Rival and pick up where the Momentum left off.  I was thinking about going 1000 abralon with Finesse-It II polish.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  My bios are in my profile, thanks.

Just bumping this up in case anyone wanted to see how these two balls compared in my write up about it.  Thanks for all the input everyone.

i would take the rival to like 1000 abralon.......   that should make it roll a lil earlier and still have a nice pop on the back end
