Apocalypse vs Triple X
« on: September 07, 2004, 11:15:07 PM »
Is there a huge difference between these two balls?
Which one lives longer?
          hits better?
          is better for medium-heavy oil?
          do you prefer?
Tnx

I hope so, because here in Belgium roto-grip balls are not available. But some guys from Rotogrip come to give a demonstration so it's a unique oppurtinity to buy one of their balls. I read some good reviews about their balls, but I haven't seen anybody playing with them.

The apocalypse picks up a bit quicker in the midlane because of the solid cover than the triple X which is more skid/flippy.
The solid if left dull will absorb more oil quicker and therefore need more maintenance than the Triple X. Both are great balls.
You cannot really go wrong with either and alot still depends on the conditions your are bowling on and the skill level of the bowler.

All balls, including Storm, will last several years if cared for properly.

I have both.  My first ball was the Apocolypse and I went out and bought the Triple X after I saw some good reviews on it.  The Apocolypse is still the first ball out of my bag.  Can't go wrong with it!
