The Anarchy was by far my very favorite and most predictable asymmetric ball I've ever owned. And I'm looking to for another pearl/hybrid asymmetrical that has a very similar shape to round out my THS arsenal. 41' medium oil HPC synthetics.
My current arsenal (in the bag this season thus far) consists of
Bad Intentions
Vibe XR (the red one) I can't think of the name lol
Candy Cane Vibe XR
Original Motiv Recon (Orange)
Plastic spare

I have several balls that sometimes make their way into the rotation but as of late this is the best look I get from top to bottom of the arsenal. Just looking for a strong pear lied or possibly hybrid asymmetrical to fit just below the Bad Intentions.
I'm currently think that a Hyper Cell Skid might give me the best look at filling the spot,and hopefully it rolls as well as my Anarchy did.

Specs
PAP- 4" right 1/8" up
Speed 15.5 mph off hand
Rev rate matches speed
Tilt 22*
Rotation 55-60*

BTW. I know it may look as if I'm Loyal to Hammer, but I'm really not into throwing just one brand, that was purely coincidental lol.

I've got a NIB 15 lb Anarchy...Actually two...PM me and we'll see what we can do. My theory is why try to find a different ball to replace it when you can replace it with the same ball....I'm on my 3rd Anarchy right now and still have two NIB :-)

I thank u both for the proposal however I work in a pro shop therefore I have the privilege of getting any "current" release at the manufacturers cost. Trust me when I say had this not been the case, I'd jump at the opportunity to grab a new Anarchy. However I'm sure you both want a bit more than what im willing to shell out due to the privilege of getting balls at such discounted prices. This doesn't mean that I wont. But right now I'd like to see what others have to say as what might be comparable in any distributors current lineup. Thank you

Crux Pearl. The Skid is a great ball, but it is more angular than the Crux Pearl.

Seanmullins · « **Reply #5 on:** June 27, 2015, 10:38:50 AM »

Thanks Cobalt. I too had been thinking of the Crux pearl as I've drilled several for local customers with great success however, I think it might be a little too clean thru the fronts and mids. for my high tilt and rotation I need a ball to start up early enough to read that area to avoid the weak ten pins. For this reason I usually tend to be biased towards solids with a moderate surface, and yes I know, knock off the polish, yadda yadda yadda, lol, but Im basically looking for a condition specific look from this spot in the arsenal, where a polished surface is favored, if that makes sense.
Perhaps the Crux pearl isn't really as long and flippy as I'm seeing it, as 99% of my customers ask for long and strong as its appealing to the less informed eye. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this

I personally love the core specs on the Break Down and am highly considering going that route nd just applying a light coat of storm step 2 to give me that pearlized look. Wishful thinking is a Break Down Pearl.... I hope your reading this Global

SVstar34 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 27, 2015, 11:10:57 AM »

Why not just get a Crux and put polish on that? If you think the pearl would be too long why not go with the original

Seanmullins · « **Reply #7 on:** June 27, 2015, 12:03:05 PM »

That's obviously a great point, however I'm gonna be honest, there's something that I just don't like about the catalyst core. And I really don't even have any legit reason for thinking this. Perhaps it has to due with the fact that the Anarchy was simply the only Storm ball I've ever liked, I know that's an illegitimate excuse but sometimes when u think negatively one starts to believe in it ya know. So I really have to admit I'm definitely looking for something outside of their lineup, and yeah I know sounds ridiculous seeing that I loved my Anarachy, so I'm not gonna try and bs my way around any sort of reasoning here, by I'll just end eating my words. Maybe it's time to give me a whirl again, but I really do like the idea of trying out a lower total differential asymmetric for the first time given my success with the great Vibe core. I guess that's why the Break Down is so appealing to me at the moment.

Again, this is really silly thinking since I'm very much entertaining punching up a hyper cell skid which also comes from Utah.

I guess I can try something like Svstar, recommended and drill it up with a control layout. Perhaps 30x3.25x50 would provide the same look as the lower diff Break Down.

I think maybe you should let us know what the Anarchy did for you.

Anarchy vs Break Down in my mind from what I've seen are 2 different balls.

Anarchy was strong core with R2X pearl I believe. Which came out to it being a little more rolly but a strong ball overall.

Break Down has a strong core that is modified to be a little weaker and has a little weaker solid cover.

I see the HC Skid as flipper than the Anarchy. If you don't care about brand the closest might be something along the lines of the C300 Mad Antics or Track MX16 with a little bit of polish

This is a shot in the dark, but how about the Optimus. When I had both the Marvel Pearl and Anarchy, I found them taking up the same spot in the bag when used on a THS. They say the Optimus is similar to the Marvel Pearl, in my logic: Anarchy = Marvel Pearl = Optimus. Hopefully this helps you out or at minimum is food for thought.

mechanic81 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 27, 2015, 01:20:46 PM »

Well i can chime in and say that i have an anarchy and a breakdown both drilled similar and the anarchy is def. alot more than the breakdown. the breakdown is more control for me and the anarchy gives me more angle and is more stronger just my 2 cents

avabob · « **Reply #11 on:** June 27, 2015, 01:48:15 PM »

I had an Anarchy, and it was great on house shots. I don't think the symmetric cores from the Marvels would give the kind of reaction desired. I am a bad one to ask because I build my entire arsenal around flatter patterns, and thus usually like symmetric cores. I think in the storm line, the Byte might give the look desired on a house shot.

Seanmullins · « **Reply #12 on:** June 27, 2015, 03:22:27 PM »

Avabob you're brilliant...... I don't know how, but the Byte completely slipped my mind.... I drilled one up for my old boss, and adjusted his fit, and once he got dialed in to it, holy cow batman..... That ball was selling like hot cakes after that... So much that we just couldn't keep em on the shelf

Could anyone compare directly the Byte to a Hyper Cell Skid?

Break Down has a strong core that is modified to be a little weaker and has a little weaker solid cover.

To answer the above question. After drilling an Invasion yrs back and not having much success with it regardless of the pattern, I was skeptical that I'd like the Anarchy any better. However, our storm/roto distributor gave us a couple freebies just prior to the official release of the ball, and I gotta admit I would of felt wrong turning around and selling for a profitable margin, I decided to put my benchmark asym layout on it 45/4/30 and with little to no expectations I went out and competed in a local state tourny, using Kegel Main Street, on proanvilanes. Yes it was your typical house shot so it wasn't a true testament, however I remember distinctly having more area than ever, with tremendous carry. Despite having so many other options to choose from that season, whenever I found myself having any sort of trouble carrying or even getting to the pocket I'd go to the bag and out came the Anarchy.
I guess it gave me the perfect balance of mid lane read due to the strong core, with an immense backend and hitting power, in part to the polished R2X cover stock. I know every new ball release claims to do everything I mentioned and more, I never since was able to find that perfect balance that the Anarchy gave me from an asymmetrical ball.

I hope that answers your question. And I really do appreciate all the feedback, views and responses I've gotten thus far.

SvStar, it's funny that you mentioned the Mad Antics as a possible comparison as I've had my eye on it since its debut. However, storm, roto, and Motiv, are taking over the scene in my neck of the woods, and can honestly say I haven't yet drilled or even seen anyone throw any of the Antics line save for the original. So I'd love to get the word out on more EBI products as I don't feel that any one company outweighs the next. It's unfortunate but it's more of "monkey see monkey do" here, and whatever balls are being thrown by the league leaders will sell in leaps, and the others will be left unheard.
