Just it seems cleaner for length than just about any solid I've tried with a good strong core!
I guess the Xfactor is the closest in a strong core assymetric with Accutread(I never knew it was accutread till today).

Their keeps being some Agent guy and a very ugly looking brown ball next to him...
Looks a lot like my Hot Rod Pro Stock.
But if anyone has an X factor deuce for sale or X factor or one of these 35th anniversery ones....let me know! Smooth stuff and a versatile mass bias!

Your guess is as good as mine. The only thing besides the site I have to base it on is that it's very similar to my original X-Factor in movement. It's a little more angular than I'd expect a particle pearl to be but that's not proof one way or the other.
At any rate, I love the ball.

Accu-Tread was quite common, and nice that it has made its way back on new balls. Great stuff for medium conditions.

With our facility being a little smaller, it took a lot of time to change production lines. We were running multiple shifts in order to keep up, while Columbia had 2 extra product lines sitting dormant. This was we can focus on the mid-price up through the high-end and continue to bring you quality products
I know that there have been a lot of rumors floating around about Columbia making our balls, and we have even discussed this at many trade shows. The problem is that when somebody without all the facts starts rampant rumors, it snowballs into something ugly. The easiest thing to do is always ask somebody that would know the truth

I wasnt calling you out, so to speak, its just frustrating when somebody makes statements that can be taken out of context and then it could be too late for damage control
.......and yes, Timmy is a great guy. He gets a lot of grief that he doesnt deserve. People thing that because he hasnt had much success in the PBA that he is an over-hyped amatuer. The fact is that he is arguably the greatest International Bowler in the World. If Timmy chooses to focus on that aspect of the sport instead of the PBA, then that is his decision and i stand by him 100 % !!!

In my opinion, the Jolt solid is going to be a steal
What about the Jolt Pearl? Is that going to be the new light oil ball of choice? I was thinking of something like a Hot Rod Hybrid but now I am wondering about maybe a Jolt.

I note that the
Deuce (http://"http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=11&BallID=394")
has a high diff .058 and some mass bias...
The
Jolt (http://"http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=11&BallID=750")
Has a similar lower rg but a much lower differential and is symmetrical.
Lately I have been having great luck with the Deuce...drilled pin up and strong and mass bias in the track. I have tried this drilling with other strong pearl mass bias balls too.
I note that these seem to really rev up yet wait in the midlane befor attacking the pocket with reduced entry angle (in comparison to my mass bias strong or mass bias on val drillings. And in the house I bowl in this wait and softer entry angle is sweet and carries.
When I seem to put these drillings (pin out and up and cg near grip center on weaker symmetrical cores like the Hot rod etc they don't seem to do much?
Sort of lopey and not much. (I put the same pin position with a stacked drilling and I get monsters out of these weaker core balls but too much entry angle).
Ideas?

Depends on what you are looking for Fluff. The Hot Rod Hybrid had the Reacor cover on it. It was definitely stronger downlane than the Jolt Pearl. In my opinion the Jolts fill the gap between the Tropicals and the mid-price lines a little better than the Hot Rods did. I just had the Hot Rods a little too skid/snappy in most cases
Ah thanks! Well I won't be making this purchase for another month or so... I guess I have to ponder this one.

I notice the core of this ball bears a striking resembalance to a certain patented diamond core and is identified as the OLD Perfect Piece core.Could somebody have come across a good thing and slapped a patent on it building an entire high end ball company around another person's design.

Now that Columbia is pouring both Storm and Lane 1 how long before we see a diamond core surrounded by Accu-tread ?
A ball I WOULD own by the way.
