Honestly I would never have considered the vg to be more ball,based on these facts,the vg is a second drill,ball that I bought used and have no idea how many games are on it,with newer technology I would have hoped that a newer fresher take on the subject would have warranted it be better than the old,and I do have a stronger drill angle on the mission x.
That being said,i have thrown the mission x on three seperate occassions and as I dont know what the patterns were, my basis for comparison is on present balls in my arsenal and their response to the conditions.
First time out was just after a 3 man league. It turned out to be a short set up and not nearly enough oil for the ball I couldnt keep it right of the pocket no matter what I tried.
Next time out was on a fresh ths 38 ft with oob passed 7. I dont know why ,but the lanes played differentlyone lane was about 5 boards tighter this lane I had to play right up 7 and as long as i watched my speed and angle it got to the pocket,but carry was a major issue. Nice pocket hits,but i left more single pins in 3 games that I have left in a while. The other lane ,when I got lined up, the ball reacted well and carry was nice,I had miss room in and out. This is the shot I compared using the vg. Where the mission wouldnt recover or carry the vg would.I had a good 3 to 5 boards more area with the vg and had to play deeper.
My next time out with it was on a shorter pattern and once again not enough oil,the ball grabbed at my feet. It would work from a deep line ,but it labored to get down the drier lane. I ended up having a great look with an omg and my rising star. Both got thru the heads much better so it made for an easier stroke to the pocket. Now dont get me wrong it is a good ball I was just hoping it would be something I could go to when the vg wouldnt let me play where I wanted,but the vg is still the strongest ball in my bag. The mission x is a close second.
