massacre gemstone comparison
« on: November 13, 2009, 12:22:35 PM »
i have a 15 lb massacre 4.5 to 5 inch pin drilled label,love this ball but eventually it becomes difficult to keep right of the headpin ,,,,a gemstone same pin and drill ,would that be weaker by much ? would that be a step down from the massacre , or would a neptune (gasp) be a better step down........

I have not thrown the Massacre, but have owned a Neptune. I now have a Gemstone. For me, there is no comparison. The Gemstone is a much better medium to dry lane ball. Unless they were totally flooded, my Neptune performed almost like any high end ball. I am not saying the Neptune is a bad ball, but I would not call it a dry lane ball by any stretch of the imagination. I have heard of others on this board that do like it for dry lanes. Everyone's dry is different. I have bought many balls looking for good performance on the dry side, and the best three(in order of increasing strength) are: 1) Starburst XXXL 2) Storm Natural(polished), 3) Gemstone. The Gemstone is the best of the 3 for when I have to move in and swing it a little. the others let me stay in the burn more. I believe the new Seismic Desperado sounds like it will be a great ball, also! I want one for Christmas!
