Differences between the Vibes?
« on: September 09, 2008, 05:52:52 AM »
How would you rank the three readily available Vibes (Blue, Cherry, and Emerald) in terms of strongest to longest on a 40ft THS (ProAnvils) with clean backends?

I have all 3 drilled up and my go in this order:

Blue Vibe
Emerald Vibe
Cherry Vibe

But I think alot of it is due to the surface prep and drilling I used in each ball.

With each ball being in box condition the Blue Vibe is the strongest of the three.  From what i've been told the Emerald Vibe is a tad stronger on the backend than the Cherry Vibe.

Most bowling balls on the market today can cover most conditions with the correct surface prep.  I feel when you buy a bowling ball today, your buying a reaction shape.

I know ball companies still market there equipment in terms of oil handling.  For example the Blue Vibe came out as a light oil ball.  With the correct surface grit the Blue Vibe can be used on some heavier longer patterns with ease.  Like I said your buying a reaction shape not so much it's oil handling capabilities.
