Really great - thanks for this. One thing...the Momentum original is a solid not a pearl.


I double checked the issue of BTM with the review(and the following issues for any corrections) and they list it as a reactive pearl.

I checked columbia300 and bowlingballreviews plus some other list it as a pearl also. If you have a source for the info ill check it out.

For now we go with BTM's listing.

I just noticed a few typos that I want to let you know of so they can be corrected in future versions.

The Break length rating is 1.5

Nkyption Code is missing the "i"

Maniac is missing the second "a"

Villain is spelled Villian

Don't know if there's more, those are just the ones I noticed when looking through a couple ball's ratings.

Thanks for the info! The file has been updated on the site.

Aloarjr, thanks for the quick fix.  It was truly hard to guess what the Break length rating should have been lol.

Great stuff! Thanks for putting this together.

One thing: The original X-Factor is a pearl, not a solid, is it not?

I Took a look yes it's a pearl, I'll add it when I do the june update (I just got that issue).

That one (the X-factor) happened because that one was back when BTM used the old new system of reviews. They didn't list type (solid, pearl...) like they do now, also that section came from the original balls.xls sheet before I took it over.

In that issue the pearl type was mentioned in the reading section, so must have gotten over looked then and by the vetting.

I also fixed the 5o to 50.

i thought the AMF Nkryption Code was a pearl and the Brunswick Wild Ride and 900 Global Break Point was a form of a hybrid coverstock?

Checking BTM they list it just as a "Reactive" which makes it fall into the solid category. I also checked at brunswick and they don't say it's a pearl. So until BTM changes it's listing or better info comes up it will stand as solid.

BTM & Brunswick both list the Wild Ride as a Reactive Pearl(Coverstock-ConneXion Reactive Pearl),so it stands.

BTM lists the AMF Nkryption Code as a Reactive Solid,AMF say the Coverstock is  CodePlus Reactive.

BTM lists 900 Global Break Point as a Reactive Solid, 900 Global says the coverstock is the S73 reactive resin.

So neither is a hybrd
