Virtual Energy compared to the Bounty Hunter pearl questions
« on: December 12, 2009, 08:07:24 AM »
I just drilled the Bounty Hunter pearl (BHP)and threw it a few frames on a fresh oil.  The Bounty Hunter pearl did not read the lanes as well or strong as the Virtual Energy, is it suppose to?  I know the BHP is suppose to be a skid flip ball, but for heavier oil.  Should the BHP be stronger, different or just skid flippy as compared to the VE.  Only threw it about 3 frames, so this is not a very informative comparison, just questions.

Well, the core numbers say no. Also, the VE is a hybrid cover while the BHP is pearl only.
Hope this helps.

BHP has a diff of .049 and RG of 2.503 as compared to the VE of .052 and 2.48 listed here of Ballreviews.  Is there that much difference?

The lower RG of the VE will make it read earlier, as well as the higher diff allowing for more flare, which again, will make it read earlier. The hybrid cover may be the biggest factor.

If the BHP is not as aggressive as the VE thats great, I just want to know where it will fit in my arsenal.  Almost sounds like it might replace my Domination, but its way too soon to tell.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have thrown the VE and the Domination, not the BHP. My best guess is that the BHP will be closer to the Domination. As I'm sure you know, the VE is earlier and smoother than the Domination.
