Hey seismic guys, looking for a ball and am interested in Seismic. Right now I am really looking for something for the medium/heavy to straight heavy area, so I figure the Requiem, but I want something that is going to hook... I own a few "heavy oil balls" that don't really hook much, they just roll in oil, so I am really looking for a different reaction in heavier oil than just a weak roll. I love the look of the Epicenter, but am not a fan of the pearl idea, as I already own countless pearls, and figure it would just overlap. Guess I am just looking for something that is going to be able to cover boards on heavy oil.

Requiem is our oil ball, that''s correct. It will give great backend motion with a suitable layout for the condition.

If you''re playing heavy with backend, the Epicenter should work really well though. And having tested it dulled down, its actually a very good oiler.

However if you''re playing heavy with carrydown, then a skid-flip layout isn''t the best idea. You want something with midlane grip from the cover and much more even flaring throughout the lane, and thats the Requiem.

I think its a matter of narrowing down the exact conditions, and transition of that condition that you expect, and choose the appropriate one.

I''m not gona comment on the next release till things are more solid, maybe we''ll just spring it on you. (No puns intended in this paragraph!)
