Primal vs Backdraft
« on: June 20, 2011, 12:46:28 PM »
According to Motiv, the Primal is a fairly strong ball. Motiv has the Primal a lot stronger than the QZ2 Backdraft. According to BTM, the Backdraft is stronger than the Primal.
 
BTM Ratings:
 
Backdraft   Length: 13  Backend  15.5   Overall Hook  49
 
Primal:       Length  13  Backend  14.5  Overall Hook  48  (That's pretty week)
 
In my experience, BTM is pretty accurate with their ratings.

 I really like the Backdraft and think BTM is way off.

Be good, or be good at it.

The primal really doesn't hook a ton, the ball is so strong in the front portion of the lane and very smooth on the back. Its a more controlled and consistent reaction, the Backdraft is ridiculously angular or anything but it comes off the spot a lot harder in comparison to the Primal.

I would also say that is a difference in finish. On heavier oil I would take the Primal. If you were to take the Primal to the same finish as the Backdraft I think you would see more length with a quicker reaction off the dry. If both are at box finish, generally you would start with the Primal and later change over to the Backdraft. That has been my experience.
