Illusion vs. Saga
« on: September 13, 2008, 08:01:44 PM »
I'm not sure if this has been posted before but I have looked through all the pages and I cant find it?

Has anyone got both of these 2 balls and threw them side by side to know what the difference is?

I am wanting to say the Illusion is stronger off the dry than the Saga? You agree?


Thanks!

Have thrown both balls.  Saga is stronger overall than the Illusion, maybe 2-3 boards stronger on an ideal shot.

I'm not sure I'd use the words 'stronger off the dry' when comparing the Illusion to the Saga.  Maybe quicker is a better word.  The Illusion is about 1 to 1 1/2 feet longer than the Saga with a 'snappier' look when it makes it's turn - but the Saga is pretty angular too and it just doesn't seem to quit.

For me the Saga is one of the best THS pearls (I know it's 2/3 pearl and 1/3 solid but it acts like a pearl) ever.  The Illusion needs the shot to be broken down some before it really shines.

I'll basically second what Greenefam mentioned.

The Saga is a little stronger, a little earlier, and is probably a better choice than the Illusion on a fresh shot.

I find that my Illusion wants to go sideways unless carrydown is present it's quite flippy.

Besides that I like the Illusion for it's release versatility and forgiveness.  Since it needs less oil I also can get more use out of it.
