Dont have either but have seen both in the same hands
Swing covers many more boards in the backend...

Out of box the Momentum would be longer but the Swing will cover more boards

Have both, same specs. and layouts on both, and Momentum goes longer and is smoother at the break point than the Swing. Swing is almost as long, much more angular at the back though.

Everybody is correct when they say the Momentum will go longer and hook less than the Swing.  My Swing (pin 4 5/8" from PAP) hooks about 8 boards more than my Momentum (pin 4" from PAP).

The Swing is my favorite ball in my bag right now.  With the Momentum, Dead Flush, and spare ball, you have a great 4 ball arsenal for most league conditions.

relly?? its good to hear that the swing is working out very well with you guys... actually, i'm really planning to get one.. but was just a little bit wary that this ball would not be sufficient enough for me when used in heavier amounts of oil...I'm really choosing between the dimension and the swing... by the way, i have the momentum, and absolutely loves it..

Hey BuddiesProShopcom - Tim
 
 How do you have your SWING coverstock?? I had to put mine on my spinner and bring it up from the OOB to 4K abralon with a little polish and  its still a monster

I'm praying for some oil tomorrow nite in my Friday nite league!

My experiences are the same as others have posted.  The only other obser-
vation is that the Swing is an oil sponge.  I have changed the surface
a couple of times but have to wipe the ball after every shot.

I kept it in box finish.  I try not to mess with the surfaces too much.

nextbowler is right, using a microfiber towel after every shot is a great help to maintaining optimal performance.
