Ok...The Total Bedlam is ridiculous!!!
« on: February 19, 2010, 01:35:55 PM »
Ok I`ll try to keep this short...

Me:
Righty
Tweener
Lots of speed with decent revs
PAP 5" right from the center of grip

House:
ProAnvils
42'''' THS

I have drilled a bunch of balls lately and finally got around to getting this piece drilled.  I had no idea what I was getting into!  I recently drilled a Mission (drilling #3 according to the drill sheet, no x-hole) and it is a monster.  I am very happy with it.  Well, I decided to try my Total Bedlam tonight drilled with the pin over the ring, MB 2" right of the thumb, and an x-hole 4" right of the center of grip.  This thing is beyond strong folks!  It got through the heads with no problem, revved in the mids, and see ya later...It was almost like it stops and makes a profound left turn.  I have never seen a ball ever react like this on the backend.  The only thing I can loosely compare it to is the Storm Agent but the TB starts up much earlier.  Well I had to put it away because it was way too much ball.  Hopefully, I will be able to use it but I`m not holding my breath that my house will put enough oil down to warrant its use.

How would you compare the Total Bedlam to the Mission? Are they drilled similar?

No the Total Bedlam has a 5" pin to PAP while the Mission has a 3.5" pin to PAP.  Both have the MB in the strong position.  The Total Bedlam has been totally unusable for me so far.  It is sick on the backend!  It's not unpredictable at all, just way too much!  The Mission is a beast too but is a little more even than the TB.  The Mission has a ton of recovery but is still controllable.  The TB has more recovery than I have ever seen in a ball.  Even with my fast speed, I cannot throw either through the breakpoint.  I love both balls because the Mission works wonders on our THS while the TB will be the ball for moderate-heavy carrydown.  Hope this helps.
