Total Annihilation coverstock
« on: February 16, 2005, 05:15:07 PM »
I'm considering picking up one of these, and noticed the coverstock is a MoRich/Brunswick formula.  Does anyone know what it might be comperable to in the Brunswick arsenal: Activator, PK 18, etc.? Thanks for the help.

It's labeled, "Enhanced" PK 18; consensus "seems" to be that it's stronger than the PK 18, but not quite Activator. Kind of like Track's Goo and Columbia's M80.

Sounds good, PK 18 is a great shell, so any variant of it is probably a good choice.  Thanks guys.

Charlest,  the activator cover is actually less movement than the PK18.  The TA is PK18 with an additive to make it skid a touch more than PK18 and bite harder in the back, but give you a sence of more control of the movement.  Hope this helps.  I have Two TA's and Im going to drill a nother one here in a few weeks.  This is one of the best balls I have ever thrown.  It earned me a free trip to the ABC Masters by winning my local assoc. Masters.

Thanks, Doc.

I wasn't sure quite how it was "enhanced". "Enhanced" SuperFlex seems to be earlier and more. I knew the TA seems to hit harder than PK 18 if that's possible.

FWIW, I'm more impressed with local use of the TA than I am with the WMB. A lot of (really) good local bowlers are jumping on the Morich bandwagon over the past year.

I've been looking for an asymmetric core to fool around with, to get a skid flip reaction with a pearl coverstock. The TA has occurred to me more than any other ball.

Well I could be completely wrong but I keep thinking I'm seeing the Ultimate Inferno coverstock with a Mo weightblock inside for the TA.

As to skid flip with asymmetric what could be better than the TA weightblock with pk 18 ie the Ravage?

REgards,

PS as far as the WMB it doesn't move that awesome on the lanes but it does REALLY hit and carry.  The TA on the other hand moves great and carry seems to vary by bowler.  But if it hits for you it REALLY hits!

TA is not ultimate i have TA still and had ultimate which was much earlier and for me did not match up well. The Ta skids first 10 feet and then starts movement i think bowldoc is right on because i ran into MO and he said c4 was pk 18 on steriods his formula his way very smart and funny man to speak with.

Btw the luckylefty call on ravage for charlest is dead on i have a shined ravage and a dull one two totally different looks with almost exact drillings and RC placements one of the most veristile balls out there right now as Danny Wiseman would at test too.

Seen it too many times, Ravage is tooooo unpredictable and needs toooo much dry to make the turn. With the drilling I have inmind, the Ravage would be for light oil; wouldn't even make the turn in medium-light oil.

Upon re-edit: I am talking of a polished TA, also.

WHat I've seen of the WMB so far, well, it's OK. I really like what I've seen of the TA: lots of success by lots of bowlers on lots of conditons.
