Heading to a ball demo
« on: March 09, 2017, 04:05:33 PM »
Going to a ball demo Saturday.  Its a ebonite, hammer, Columbia and track demo.  Any idea what ball at the demo would most closely resemble a storm timeless.  cant find any storm demo in my area.  Balls that are gonna be there. 
Columbia:  Impulse, Tyrant Pearl, Side Swipe Solid
Hammer:  Gauntlet, Phobia, Rebel Solid
Track:  Mako, Cyborg Pearl, Emerald Kinetic
Ebonite:  Maverick Pearl, Maverick, Gamebreaker 2 Phenom Pearl

None of them. Kinetic Emerald might be closest, but it's lower rg and lower diff compared to the Timeless. I think the Emerald cover is close to R2S

just went to one here in tacoma, exact same companies and balls. Im not a track guy but the MAKO and KENETIC were the best balls I threw. bought two kenetics they are the hardest hitting balls Ive ever thrown, and Ive thrown quite a few. of course this is only my opinion.

+ 1 on the Kinetic
Also having success with the sideswipe solid, great predictable stronger piece

I have a Kinetic Emerald - I think it's smoother than the Timeless.

If one went off of BTM's reviews, it would look like the Phobia and the Phenom Pearl would be the closest to the Timeless in overall ball motion and hook potential.  Not seeing much of the Phobia around here and not seeing the Phenom Pearl at all, I cannot say BTM's reviews on these 3 balls match up to the real world - however, its a starting point.
