Title: Considering all things equal...
Post by: 302efi on March 04, 2006, 02:23:43 PM
Say you have a Dirty Bomb Pearl and Pearl Cherry Bomb, same exact specs, factory cover prep, drilling the same ( pin over ring, cg stacked).

On a fresh house shot with clean, striped back-ends...Which ball will turn the corner harder ?

Bowler specs: 17-18mph, little over 400rpm Cranker

Probably the Dirty Bomb.  Activator is a little cleaner and sharper than PK18 and Aggressive Reactive.  I believe AR is on the Cherry Bomb.

From my experience with both balls, the Cherry Bomb had a bigger backend then the Dirty Bomb.

For me the Drity Bomb is a smooth ball, but the Cherry Bomb had a sharper break point.

SHelley is correct.,...Activator on the Dirty Bomb is cleaner up front and will normally backend harder than teh Aggressive reactive (PK 18 based) cover on the Cherry Bomb BUT.......

The Cherry Bomb will go harder due to the stacked mini-diamonds in the core. The ball has more differential and will change direction harder than the Dirty.

The Dirty is no slouch and depending on the lane condition and the bowler in question, there may not be much of a visible difference....
