Terminator vs. Fury

OK, Terminator is a good oil ball. How does it compare to the Fury "after" the polish wears off?

No one seems to have the experience/interest answering questions regarding the Terminator( there is another thread on it that's still not answered).

I would also like to know more about it. Hopefully some one will "step up"

I will look for the "other" thread....

I have both balls.  Thrown both recently.  Terminator is box finish, about 40 games on it, no adjustments.  Fury is/was box finish, has about 75 games on it, has been tweeked by hand a couple times, but trying to keep it dullish.  Fury soaks oil more than the Terminator.

As far as reaction, Fury hooks more period.  They have similar drills, but the Fury revs up faster, hooks earlier, handles heavy oil better.  On mediums or fresh that is changing some, they are both excellent.  Terminator is better when the heads go a little.  Curving the Fury is not always great, it doesn't make the corner as well from deep.  The Terminator is not awesome here either, but better than the Fury.  The Fury probably hooks 5&2 more than the Terminator.  The World Class Particle is closer to my Fury than the Terminator.

Both are good balls.  Think the Terminator will last longer.  No performance change that I can tell after said 40 games.  My Fury probably needs to be cooked and cleaned to get it back to boxy surface.  I have only used the Fury on heavy oil, mostly in regional or Tour Trials competition.

Hope this helps ya....

Maybe I don't, I'll ask CBB/BOWL...

My Fury hooks a lot, probably the most hook I have.  World Class Particle is close.  Odyssey is about the same, a little longer.  Lane #1 G Force is earlier, different motion.  Fury hooks balls out a lot to me....

Thanks a lot, Mike! I got a pretty good idea......

I am sure the Fury hooks a lot. If it does not hook it's prob because it's oil soaked or burning up.

By the way, did you see the other thread by eagle..?
