Awesome Flip
« on: March 04, 2006, 10:57:57 AM »
I've seen the product page, and I'll get it regardless, but does anyone know whether it has the exact same cover as the S&A.  I know it says pearl performance reactive, just like the S&A, but the listed name of the cover on the TS&A and TA was the same, yet there were tweeks.  Could the AF be a tweek of the cover used on the S&A, or could it be even more, perhaps using the Activator Advance as its base as opposed to the Activator +.

Thanks for the replys, but my question cannot be found out by the info posted on morich's site or the stuff on buddies.  It is a more precise matter that perhaps only staffers or those very knowledgeable can answer.

I hope this might help you better.

For all intents and purposes, it is a Pearl Reactive Version of Seek & Destroy. It has the same Pearl Reactive Cover (Performance Pearl Reactive) that Shock & Awe had, along with the same shaped core design (Vanguard with upper flip block) that Seek & Destroy had, except that the densities have been altered in each piece (inner shell, body, and flip block) to create a later, stronger, and more angular move. This is mostly what I know as I will have mine shortly.

I know all about the core and such, my question relates to the coverstock.  I too thought that it is probably the same as the S&A, but were not completely sure.  If there is another person that shares my belief though, its probably right,thanks.

You mean that Mo told you that the Pearl Performance Reactive was not tweaked at all from the S&A to the AF.  I know the other stuff is right, its on the site, and the site is 100% correct.

I spoke w/ King of the mill on this the other day, he had said that HE wasn't 100% sure because he hasn't spoke w/ Mo in a while....(he's in Japan).  But I asked the same thing Ballsdeep, I was wondering if it wasn't Activator Advanced like on the Smokin' ?

I spoke with Mo today.He told me that the cover on the AF is the same as the S&A.The core is a S&D that has been tweaked slightly.

Just one more thing, more of a statement than a question.  I was thinking the other day, and I personally wasn't real pumped for the AF.  It seems to me like it really isn't much different than the S&A with these #'s, but I then thought about the WMB and the S&D and how the S&D has a vastly different breakpoint and reaction than the WMB with a nearly identical cover, and just core modifications.  I know that many believe that the skid flip reaction of the S&A is enough, that one doesn't really need more flip(The particle cover on the WMB made the flippier reaction of the S&D look more necessary and revolutionary). One must figure that perhaps the AF will have the most angular backend of any ball ever made for medium/heavy oil.  However there are many possibilities for this ball.  The areas outside of 5 on many patterns, out of bounds, can be opened up, and heavy carrydown that makes most balls seem to back up and leave weak tens may be conquered.  I nearly found myself dismissing the ball, but the upper flip cap should make the ball quite different than the S&A, and more importantly the reaction should be something never seen before.
