2nd Dimension or Rogue Cell
« on: April 17, 2009, 06:50:14 PM »
Presently I have the VG at 1000 as my oil ball and my Hy-road as my next. Sometimes I find that I needed something between the 2...so do you suggest I get a end Dimension or a Rogue Cell to fill this gap which can also be my benchmark ball....thanks !

I throw both and thing the 2D is a better step down to the VG than the Rogue would be.

Storm246:

Get another HyRoad and scuff it to 2000 Abralon.  The Rogue will be too similar while I don't think there is enough diff in the 2nd to be effective, even with surface.

This is a very loaded question in comparing 4 balls and how they would match up...
The Virtual Gravity can handle a little larger load of Oil in comparison to the Rogue Cell.

The Second Dimension starts up earlier and reads the mids as opposed to the Hyroad that is cleaner through the mids and stronger on the backend. The Second Dimension can definitely handle more oil and not sacrifice pin carry with the angle it gets to the pocket. If a Rogue Cell or Virtual Gravity is facing up too soon, a Second Dimension would be a great compliment.

The thing to remember also is that the Second Dimension is Symmetrical compared to the Virtual that is Asymmetrical along with the Rogue Cell that is Asymmetrical. The Second Dimension does have two Asymmetrical cores turned 90 degrees in relation to each other to kind of mock an asymmetrical ball but to also get that earlier roll in the midlane by it being a symmetrical core. The Pearlized Cover with added Mica also helps read the mids because of the Mica but still has a continuous strong motion with the pearl coverstock...

I think that a Second Dimension might be what what you are looking for. The Rogue might cause a little bit of overlap on your Virtual. Granted the Virtual is Stronger, but the Rogue is not that much weaker. Maybe a Rogue with oob coverstock and a weaker drilling would suit you. If not, I would suggest a Second Dimension with a stronger layout to have it read the mids even better.

Interesting topic. I've turned to Storm and RotoGrip just recently. The Virtual and Rogue look similar but of course the Rogue is more of an Arc shape on the back while the Virtual is Angular.I say they compliment each other well. I also have a HyRoad and the ball is very clean through the front with great mids and good backend. I think the Second Dimension will be a good ball to have. Just layout the way you want to fit in your arsenal.
