I personally think the three g-forces look way too similar...i love the color scheme of the original, but I think they could have added more variation to these two.

Did the Evolution require a weight hole? Hard to see if there is one from the picture.

yes & no  

since it is a G-Force series .. I rather see the color close / related

and the columbia factory is closing very soon .. don't think they wanna waste time testing different colors

GTX has it nailed....it has come to light in recent years that certain pigments will cause different reaction characteristics. This is perhaps the reason why some people throw certain colored balls better than others. And may also explain why Lane 1's entire catalog for 06-07 was blue and silver except teh cherry XXXL.

With not much time to get these balls out and on the lanes my guess was that they tweaked the resin formulation in the G Force to get the pearl and stuck with the red because they had a basic understanding of how the balls reacted.

Thus far I am getting a silly angular reaction from the Evolution although our PBA pattern last night was hardly the place to test it out properly (50' ToC pattern) but the few balls I threw on the other pattern (a not so easy house pattern) it was more angular than any ball I have thrown from Lane 1.

Yes, Nappy, the ball did require a weighthole. The cg punch was outside the diamond so it actually had a longer pin than the box said and therefore I needed a hole 2" below my PAP to get the sideweight down from 1-1/4 to 5/8 oz and remove the 1/4 thumb back to 1/8 finger.

Yes the balls are gorgeous and I am still taking orders for anyone who is interested....for the price I am selling them at it's borderline silly to not try one...no more than a Paradigm or Inferno.....

Am I the only one that thinks that they are the same color?  Maybe my eyes are bad but they look the same color with different mixing patterns that you see in Columbia poured multi-colored balls.  They do look good, but to me they look too similar.

The Nebula is more burgundy (read that as darker blood red) than the Evolution which is lighter. Unless you are in good light you can't relaly tell the difference.

Similar colors... bad for me... here's why.

I live right across the street from the bowling alley. On several occasions, I have made a poor choice as to what ball to tote to league. No big deal. I just have to give a call to my awesome wife, and ask her to bring the (insert "shiny or dull" here),(insert color here) ball to me. She has never failed to grab the right ball

Now, I will have to give the name and description, and hope there will be no confusion.
