Old vs New part two. 3D Offset continues
« on: January 05, 2022, 08:34:11 AM »
Got a chance to do part two comparison on a fresh house condition. More defined friction compared to the previous video. All three had 3000 applied to the finish to try and keep things as similar as possible.

Lot of fun especially looking at the 2011 vs 2020 mid performance technology. According to manufactures todays newer ball should hook off the rack before you have a chance to pick the ball up....is that really the case when comparing old vs new.

The 3D Offset is still looking good in part two. More so then I expected. Part three is going to be ready this time next week when we compare the 3D Offset to the very asymmetrical Hammer Black Widow 2.0 on a fresh house condition.

In the fourth and likely final video we will take all four out for a test drive on a "pattern" to see what it looks like when defined friction moves from the gutter to the middle of the lane. Should be fun.

U match up well with that 503C, and my other 2 cents is if "new isn't better' we would have more manufactures out of biz...

If you saw the 5 to 6 shots prior with the 503c prior to getting the 5 or 6 posted you may reconsider lol.  It rolls great it's just a lot, a lot earlier then expected. 

In regards to the manufactures, we are down to two that produce 90% the market now.  The moment they stop saying the next doesn't hook/out perform the last would be the first honest thing they have advertised in a while 😁

It is the same with golf.  Every year they tout the newest irons as the most forgiving and that they help increase spin around the greens.  Same with the driver.  Every new driver is apparently 10 yards longer than the previous.  Yet former players like Nicklaus are saying it is the golf ball that needs to be changed to reel back in the distance. 

Regarding bowling; most of us have figured out the industry can be very mix and match.  An example is Storm and R2S.  How many different balls have had that cover on it and when was that cover first introduced?  Seems like only once every few years does a company introduce a new cover and/or core.  Even then, 2.55 RG is still 2.55 RG no matter what the core looks like.  The biggest difference now regarding cores in intermediate differential or torque.  You can have a 2.55 RG on two different cores.  However, the difference in .010 and .020 is pretty significant.

That because of marketing and people are gullible as hell. Not to say that there is not some level of truth to today's equipment being "better". Modern day equipment relative to older equipment from 10 to 25 years is stronger ON AVERAGE but that does not mean that newer balls are always stronger than the older stuff. Newer balls are generally more versatile across different pattern lengths and volumes.
