For me the green/white has more total hook with more backend.

Id agree with Tadiello, sharper off the spot with same drillings

Orange and Blue is the smoothest and weakest of all the Misfits.  Yellow and Magenta is the earliest and strongest, and Green and White is the longest and most angular.

Hope that helps.

I thought the cores and cover were the same on all three. Just different colors.

True, but many people have reported that different colors react slightly differently. The differences noted above are almost drastically different, more indicative of different coverstocks rather than just different colors.

I recall one of the bowling magazines mentioning this in their review when comparing the original two color releases.

Charlest is exactly right about the colors.  And don't read too much into my post.  The differences are minute.  When I say earlier I mean maybe a foot.  When I say strongest, it is only by MAYBE 2 boards.  And I only notice these differences on sport patterns.  The Misfits were intended to all be the same, however the colors tweaked the reactions VERY SLIGHTLY.

My red/blue misfit was a very strong ball. A lot stronger then what I expected from the entry level ball. A lot closer reaction to an Activator series coverstock.

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

It could just as easy be that the pour, although intended to be the same from batch to batch, was not the same. Or the surface finish may not be exactly the same from ball to ball. I am not buying that dye color affects hook potential.

Or is it the different colors have different swirl patterns and it gives the illusion of certain reactions and in reality they are the same? Without it being rolled by Throbot and everything being the same, I don't buy in to the colors making the difference either!!

BTM made the color comparison to total hook in the Misfits.

http://above180.com/dv8-damn-good-bowling-balls-by-brunswick
See Joey Cerar's site with an interview of Billy O about color 5:15 as to proprietary info.  so yes there is a difference between colors and total hook.

About color Matt McNeil made some inference in his The Look video about blue/orange/red balls and hook.  VG, etal.

My driller believes that white is the most total hook.  Interesting that Mo used white in the AMF XS Bone.

Then you can get into dyes vs. pigments.

Scott, you miss the point. The fact that one ball hooks more than the other does not mean that the extra hook is caused by the difference in color.

All things being equal, hook or traction is caused by the friction coefficient of the particular surfaces.

If there is a difference, the difference would come from the effect that the dye has on the resin, thus leading to a more porous surface. This effect would be caused, not by the color, but by the chemical reaction between the chemicals in the dye, and the resin used to make the ball.

I remember reading the study and do not recall any significant conclusions being reached that indicated difference based on a particular dye color.

Listen to the podcast at 5:15 and argue with Billy Orlikowski.   Of many industry reps he would probably know more than any of us.

I just stated what is on the podcast and manufacturers are not giving out proprietary info.  Just stating what is out there not my opinion one way or another I could care less.

Also see review on original Misfits written up on BTM when they came out.

I looked on their website and saw no differences noted between the colors. In fact, they are all listed under the same tech description, with the only change taking place with the colors. http://dv8bowling.com/balls/misfit/

If there is a difference, DV8 is not hyping it.
