Shock and awe coverstock question
« on: September 23, 2005, 11:57:52 AM »
Does this ball have some kind of brunswick activator coverstock?

If so, what kind of finish is on it out of the box?
Is it similar to the brunswick rough buff?
--------------------
Hey, it might be slop but, it all looks the same on the scorecard!!!!!

Activator+; same as on the Absolute and Intense Infernos

Not sure precisely.

Close, but not identical. I think, but don't know, that the base undercoat on the S&A is slightly rougher than the AI. I/m pretty sure both use Rough Buff.

From what I know, it has Activator+ and Rough Buff finish. Effectively, it is an Absolute Inferno with a strong asymmetric core. NICE!

So I take it you have thrown both???? If so, what is your opinion? I love the way my AI reacts and moves, I just think Mo cores hit alot damn harder.

Shock and Awe DOES NOT EQUAL Absolute Inferno.

Not now, not ever!

And you can take that to the FREAKING bank!

maybe you should redo your bowling research all over again, FROM THE BEGINNING!
