Massacre and Red Death
« on: October 07, 2009, 02:24:38 PM »
Has anyone drilled both of these balls with similar layouts?

I was curious how much stronger the Red Death is compared to the Massacre. I like my Red Death but need a little more length as the lanes break down.

Any input here guys?

I'm with Randy, when ive seen the Red Death I think BCB right away. And as for your question Doug, i would definitely choose the Massacre as the option for when the lanes are breaking down and you need a little more length.

Well see I am ain a bit of a pickle at the moment because I have changed my style soooo much since I had any of the old balls...BCB, Berry C2, Blueberry, etc.

I am forced to use layouts I would never have used in the past. I mean here's my Red Death:

I have added a light polish to the ball as well. I just cannot get anything that I can stick with for 3 games lately. I can use the Red Death for a game and a half but I have a very difficult time switching to anything else when that ball goes away...the core, cover and layout are so much different from any other combo i have in my bag.

I was hoping that the Massacre I have in the shop would work if I drilled it the same (box specs are identical). I know what SHOULD happen but I was trying to get some solid feedback before I tried it.

Thanks guys....

My Massacre is Drilled 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 Stacked:

My Red Death is 5 x 3 + Secret Sauce:

I know they aren't similar, but I feel the 2 balls complement each other nicely..  I honestly didn't use my Massacre much until recently when I got the Red Death, when I found they work together well.  For me the Massacre definitely gets down the lane farther, but I feel it has a stronger back end then the Red Death.

Hey Zeus,

With your pin/low stacked Massacre, is the ball pretty smooth? I like stacked too, but for a pearl, I don't want it to oversnap when the ball reaches dry.

It gets down the lane nice and smooth but makes a sharp turn on the backend...
