NS2 and Yeah Baby
« on: October 09, 2009, 01:51:03 AM »
Hi at all
are there significant differences on Heavy oil patterns/Long pattern between these balls?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah Baby goes longer with more backend than the NS2 and doesn't quite handle true heavy oil for most people without some surface.

NS2 has a more rolly, more even reacting core and is also a medium-heavy oil ball at best with its stock "sheen" surface. It also needs more surface to handle true heavy oil.

FOr high ball speed people, both will cover medium oil.

Totally agree with what charlest said.  I have both and agree on his overall opinion.

I agree with Jeff, in that the NS2 is very rolly, the last one I owned had a 4" pin above RF in box condition, but still rolled very well and could handle medium-heavy to heavy with some light scuffing.  

As for the Yeah Baby, drilled pin next to RF. It is much more snappier than the above mention NS2 and is best suited for medium to medium-heavy, but doesn't handle as much oil as the NS2.

ok, so for long sport pattern the best choice is a Ns2 without the sheen finish?
I ask this because in this moment i have a terminator drilled 4x4 in box condition and it's great but i don't want change the cover to handle more oil and an old World Class.

This is my NS2 layout for heavier flatter conditions.  I scuff the surface more than it is in the pic for this type of use.

I also have an NS2 as my heavy oil ball, and it does the job very well. Mine has a very simple label leverage layout (because it came with a long pin), and on flat shots and slick surface it rocks. Ball at OOB finish handled oil suprisingly well, and the surface was and is very durable. So far, I just scuffed it up one time with a 1.500 pad, to remain close to the sheen OOB finish. For me, with lower speed and medium revs, this is any oil ball I'd need. Great piece!

Haven't used a Yeah, Baby! so far, but from observation I'd also say that it is by tendency a tad "longer" and snappier. Not a sharp ball, but the NS2 is rollier and smoother, and a step up concerning oil handling ability at OOB finish.

The Baby has pretty good length and backend for a a high-load particle ball.  I love mine.  I never got to try an NS2 or NS, though I'd like to.  I'm not sure it would fit in well right now, though.  By the third game, I'm throwing my spare ball and hooking half the lane.

ok it's clear the differences between these balls and how to drill the ns2, the last thing if i compare the guaranteed in oob condition with these balls ? Is it similar to the Ns2 in dull version? Movement on the lane and preffered pattern?
