Black Fire vs. Curve
« on: March 22, 2012, 03:13:23 PM »
Can someone give me a comparison on these two balls, by looking at the stats they would appear to be very similar.

My Curve is Very smooth, Black Fire more angular. Honestly they are  rather different. My Black Fire is more like my Time Bomb. I hope this helps.  don

Black Fire is a  high RG symmetric, Curve is a low RG asymmetric; how do the numbers make them look similar, they're almost polar opposites? Curve rolls pretty smooth for a pearl ball, thanks in large part to the low rg core and particle in the coverstock. The Time Bomb came with a slightly polished cover and even with the particle, is still pretty long and angular because of the high Rg core. A lot of people were disappointed with the Black Fire because they felt the first, pearl Time Bomb was earlier and stronger than the Black Fire. It was really long and angular for a solid-covered ball.
