Need Heavy Oil Ball
« on: February 15, 2009, 05:28:25 PM »
Right now i have a brand new in box never drilled Storm Attitude Shift.  I could trade that for 1 of the following..

Storm Dimension
Black Widow Bite
Black Widow Pearl

I have about 300 revs, 14 mph, need something that with a strong drilling on it.. i can use for a good heavy oil ball, nice midlane, and strong backend (but not too strong)

I currently have a BVP Punisher, Brunswick Demolition Zone, Ultra Zone, and Command Zone.  Give me some suggestions and your reasoning to them.  Thank you in advance

Maybe if you put the right drilling on it, the Dimension would work.  I'm just not sure you'd be able to get the backend movement you're looking for.  It's a good heavy oil ball though.

If I'm not mistaken, the Black Widow Bite and Attitude Shift have built-in backend, and I don't think they're too much.  The Black Widow Bite is probably stronger.

You could go with either of the above, but you'd need to drill the Attitude Shift stronger than you would the Bite.

As a rule, heavy oil balls don't have big backends. They are designed to create friction-and lots of it-throughout the whole lane, especially in the heads and mids. A long-and-strong reaction is almost impossible to use on true heavy oil not only because the reaction is highly unpredictable/uncontrollable, but because the ball can't generate the required traction in the heads and mids to really be effective. Therefore, a desirable heavy oil reaction should be plenty strong in the fronts/mids, with a smooth, heavy arc on the backs. that being said, i would go with the Dimension. It will easily crate more traction than the Bite, and especially the Widow Pearl. The Bite won't generate the same traction in the fronts that the Dimension will. It will also have a lower TOTAL hook potential. The Dimension should give you more area and forgiveness, with more strength on the backs, while retaining smoothness. The Pearl should be avoided all together, it was never meant to be used on anything more than medium oil.

This is just from my personal experiences, but I'd definitely go Dimension. Good luck!

Thanks for your input.  I have been looking at the dimension a lot, and i think i'm going to buy it when i get the chance to.
