Anybody here have success throwing the Grape Vibe on the Cheetah or Viper pattern?

I've never used the Grape Vibe specifically, but my Blue Vibe at box finish has always been too jumpy for these patterns.  I do have an Onyx Vibe at 2000+polish that works well on Cheetah especially - it's much smoother coming off the pattern.

A polished skid/snap pearl is rarely used on such short patterns where control is almost a necessity. Unless you dull it or your release fosters an even arcing ball reaction, this ball will, in general, lean more towards a sudden backend than an even one.

I will let you know since we are bowling on Cheetah this week and my Grape Vibe has been my goto money ball in this house all season.
