Opinions on the ball with the most skid-snap...
« on: March 01, 2004, 05:46:18 PM »
I would like some opinions on which ball you think goes the longest, with the strongest and sharpest backend reaction...I throw med-high speed with a high rev rate...in my experience, which consists primarily of columbia products, the wicked fits this description...but unfortunately it's died out, and the throttle/r i bought is a POS, so i'm looking for something to replace it...any help is appreciated...

Try a Silver Streak Pearl.  No doubt that it is a great skid/snap piece of equipment.

lane #1 silver diamond . . . recently discontinued, or soon to be . . . can maybe pick up for a good price.

the new columbia detour is supposed to be extreme back end, but i haven't seen it thrown.

I seconded the Silver Streak Pearl!

When in doubt, go buy Dyno-Thane.

Thanks for the help...I've actually have been looking at the apocalypse...has anyone thrown the apocalypse and the killer instinct pearl...my proshop owner recommended the killer instinct pearl, but i haven't read anything bad about the apocalypse and was leaning toward that...any additional help will be much appreciated...

Apocalypse has the most backend Ive seen since the Freak Out. On the other hand the Silver Streak Pearl is longer but not as much backend.
