For people that have thrown the Super Carbid Bomb
« on: January 05, 2004, 10:20:09 AM »
Is this ball really that much ball as they say on Heavy Oil?

Does it really hook and backend hard on Heavier Oil where other balls won't make the turn back to the pocket... or is it just a ball that will give you a smooth even arc just to keep you in play on Heavy Oil? Can you swing this ball on Oil?


Also - What is the RG and RG Differential?

I wasnt impressed with it.It was descent but not all that in oil.I had a midnight scorcher that would roll in the oil better than this ball.i think that this ball was to flippy at the end of the oil to be used by me so I got rid of it.I had it drilled thumb leverage with a 800 finish and it was ok the first five six shots then it would lose the surface,I had to keep cleaner on a rag to keep the oil off of it to keep a descent reaction out of it.just wasnt for me.But you know what they say nothing will move in heavy oil its the ability to read the friction and how it behaves coming of of the friction that matters.

One thing I noticed with all the bomb cores in the balls I had recieved from lane one is the high top wieght and the purpose of having a flip block and high top wieght on an oil ball just didnt do it for me or make sence.The teal,LRG,super carbide were better rolling balls on slicker conditions than the super carbide bomb was.I think it was because of the cores not cover.just my two cents.

My advice for you,Find a low rg medium diff to high diff ball like a tour power,anomaly,reaction arc,midnight scorcher "best choice" you know something that will want to roll early and have some flare.I think the anomaly may be a good choice depending on how much oil were looking at and the length.I just dont get this ball "anomaly",all I know is it crushes the hole when all hope is lost it just gets it done plain and simple.Dont ask how or why couldnt explain it.You can get one for about 120 130 shipped.

I threw one (see post Super Carbide Bomb vs Phenom). It is definately not near the ball that the Phenom is. I was swinging the Phenom 17-8 and it came back strong. Super Carbide did not turn the corner enough to hit the 10 pin.

I have thrown the phenom and seen the scb in action and I find it hard to believe the Phenom out hooked the scb on any condition..

If they only made a ball that would carry that d*mn 10 pin..

I am not a heavy handed player, but I can put some revs on the ball.  The Super Carbide Bomb outhooks any other ball that I have thrown.  Shock Trauma, Trauma Response, Super Freak, Arc, Colossus Supreme.  I also find it hard to believe that the Phenom will outhook this ball since I have thrown it against a player using a phenom that had to bowl no thumb to get the ball to move when I was having no problem with the SCB.  If you have the opportunity to see somebody throw the SBC look at the flare rings when the ball comes back.  They almost cover the ball.

I've found that the RESET button is the easiest way to knock down ten pins.
