Title: Viper vs Silver Diamond
Post by: Urethane Game on December 01, 2003, 10:02:36 PM
I absolutely love my Viper.  If I purchased a Silver Diamond, would there be overlap?  Would it roll sooner, be flippier?

Thanks!

The reactions would be different, the Viper is better suited for control on spotty conditions, or playing tighter lines on lighter shots.  It rolls almost like a urethane so take it from there.

The Silver Diamond is a go long a flip kind of ball good for medium to lighter oil.  It gets good length and makes a pretty hard turn at the back.

It could be one step up from the Viper if you wanted it to be.

I would have to agree. They are two different rolls, for two different conditions. I never got that good fo length with my Silver, but on a normal walled up medium pattern could get the Viper to move. Which was OK, cause I imagine that on a light pattern it would have been a beast. The Silver, at least mine the way I had it drilled was too angular for me. I got too close of the same reation as my Pearl Carbide Bomb drilled Axis leverage.
