I don't have a Playmaker, but I do have the Smashtime and it is really great when the lanes first start to breakdown. These two balls have a similar reaction, but I'd say that the Playmaker is the stronger of the two. The Smashtime is a really controllable pearl for me as it is relatively weak, yet has a particle pearl coverstock that gives it a bit of traction and smooths out over under. The Playmaker with its Low Rg core should also be very smooth, but it seems to be more of a fresh oil piece to to its strength.
