THE PERFECT MATCH....
« on: April 08, 2010, 12:25:07 AM »
I know im not alone when i say that ive had a few balls over the years that just seemed perfect for me, from the drilling to surface prep and everything in between. It all just matched up for a ball and reaction that was useable on pretty much everything but the extremes. What sucks is when something happens to them and they crack, or just die because of a ton of games.

A prime example for me was the Storm Trifecta. That was a strong ball, but for me it was smooth and strong with a continous backend. I could use this ball on most everything but the drier shots. It ended up cracking, and i got a replacement with dang near the exact specs before drilling, and i even went with the same pattern, and they werent even close, the second ball was not even close reaction wise.


My question is this: Why is that original reaction from the first ball so hard to copy on the second ball?? Is is more mental you think?

Even if you use "the same" ball, you will hardly get a ball with the same specs. And the coverstock changes over time, so an "old" piece will react different from a NIB ball. Even the OOB finish might be hard to copy.

But I'll admit that there seem to be cover/core/drilling combos that simply match a player...
