Is it just me, or do those balls react very similar? Maybe even the S&A being a tad stronger then the TS&A?

maybe its just me.

No they look very similar....
hopefully my T S&A outhooks my S&A or else I'll sell both because I only need so much equipment for the easier house I bowl at..gotta have the storm in my hand at the harder house though.

just as a side note...the drillings could be drilled to give the same exact look

That was my first reaction: If I have the S&A why do I need the TS&A.
My guess: this was on the same oil condition/pattern. Hopefully, the TS&A can handle more oil than the S&A (I wonder about that. I don't know; I just wonder.) and on heavier oil, it will hook where the S&A may struggle and skid too much. Still Activator+ is pretty strong, almost in particle pearl territory and TS&A is still resin.

Anyone have any other ideas. I have not thrown or seen a TS&A thrown yet.

I've seen both of these thrown. Unfortunately, they had different drillings. Yes, you can get both of them to look pretty similar. In my opinion though, the TS&A is earlier, and stronger, more continuous at the pindeck.

Something I hadn't really thought about, but was mentioned by another BR user....the S&A is real smooth, with deceptive hitting power on the backend. The guy I saw throwing the TS&A was a cranker. Ball drilled 4x7??. No X-hole. It just came off his hand strong and finished strong. He had the pin and MB stacked to right of ring, and thumb.

I think the greatest thing about the Vanguard core and the Morpheous cores are that you can drill them to be monsters......or smooth-purring pussycats...with CLAWS!!!

^^ Guess who drilled that ball for that "Cranker" Jesse?

Anyways, I layed it out for TheSuperHitman, 4" pin to PAP, 3 inches above the midline with the MB locator 5 1/4 from his PAP.  There is a small target hole inside the VAL where the C.G. moved to after drilling, drilled 3 inches deep and pitched 1 1/4 away from the palm.

It's looking great in his hand so far.  He tore it up last night with it.  If it wasn't for me cutting back on my bowling I'd definately be drilling 1 or 2 for myself.
