One and Big One difference?
« on: February 20, 2006, 05:02:19 AM »
How are the ONE and BIG ONE different?  Is the Big one more for heavy oil and the one for med?

Havent seen them side by side, but I can say that a shiny Big One is roughly 3-5 feet earlier than OOB Big Time, drilled the same of course.

I have both the One and the Big One, both are drilled close to one another with the pin on the Big One a little lower than the One because I wanted the Big One for oil. The Big One for me is as advertised, it is probably at least 7 boards more and 3 to 5 feet earler than my One.

My One Specs are:
75 degree layout
Pin is 4-1/2" from my Pap (my pap is 5-7/8 and 0)
Pin is about 2-1/4" above my midline near my ring, my grip specs are 4-3/16 X 4-3/8.

My Big One specs are
60 degree layout
Pin 4-1/2" from my pap
Pin is 2" above the midline of my grip just below my ring.

Both balls are 3-4" pins with the pin, cg, and MB in alignment and 3 to 3.5oz of Top. Both have 1/2 to 5/8oz thumb weight and 3/4"oz positive side after drilling.

I have not yet experienced the flood necessary to really see what the Big One will do, there just is not a house shot in my area that has that much oil for this ball to work properly. Definately more ball than the One...

GTGHM hit is right on the head with his analysis of the One and BIG ONE.  The BIG ONE is not for a typical house shot unless you have a lot of speed and not a lot of hand.

I thought the Big One was sanded to 4000 while the One was polished to 4000. I know i read that somewhere, possibly the ebonite site. It could have been a mistake though. Can't find anything on the Ebonite site about surface now, odd...

put them at the same surface, with the same drilling, and you will see a difference. The big one will be stronger than the one.

In addition, color does play a factor in ball reaction, as brunswick stated in the past.

All a person has to do to find out the truth is ask someone who has both balls drilled the same if there is a difference between the two.


I have both and they are drilled the same.  However, the stats for pin and top weight are slightly different.  The Big One hooks up earlier and has a strong finish.  I consider the finish strength on the Big One the same as The One when it was new.  But I've had my One since October and its lost some reaction, even though I keep it very much in condition.  I used my One for about a month in box condition, but then it got very squirty and skiddy (probably the house changed its oil type and atsmophere conditions changed).  So I took The One down to 1000 Abralon dull.  And used it like that for a few weeks.  Then it just seemed to die.  My faithfull Tidalwave Wipeout was easily out hooking it.  So I then took The One back up to 2000 abralon polished and that gave it a bit of life back.  But I have to play much further right with it then I had to when it was new, even though it was at 4000 Abralon polished.  Then we received The Big One and I have kept it in box condition.  Its like I said above....hooks just a bit, maybe 3 feet, earlier then my One.  Hits like a truck, but then all new balls do.

The BigOne seems to suck up a lot of the oil and shines the ball up after 5 games and it seems likes most of them have prett big weight holes because a lot of them ive seen have it, I have my bigOne under my ring finger, but overall it seem more aggressive then The One.
