Title: Deuce or XXXtreme?
Post by: greenefam on July 26, 2004, 07:50:47 PM

I asked this on a different thread but I have yet to get any thoughts on it.

I am looking for a stronger inside line ball than my Super Charge. I usually play it around 15-20 board in medium to oily conditions. In heavy oil I currently use the strategy of moving outside looking for friction usually with my Depth Charge. That doesn't help on patterns that favor an inside-out angle of entry to the pocket (it often leaves me in 10 pin hell).

I've looked at the Fear Factor as a potential solution for this case but for now I'm not enamored with it's reaction. I have just recently started looking to the Deuce as a possibility. If I am to stick with Storm should I be looking at the XXXtreme instead? From what I've seen of the Deuce it appears to give me what I need but recent posts around the XXXtreme have made me start to rethink it.

So the question really comes down to this - slower speed, medium to high rev., heavy oil playing around 20 board what kind of difference will I see from the Deuce to the XXXtreme?

Thanks in advance.

I have an extreme and the way i have it set up allows me to play straight down and in but i also have tried the inside and works great there also.Iwould set it up a little stronger if thats your a game but the xxxtreme is what the duece was supposed to be. i'd go with the xxxtreme.

The Triple Extreme will handle much more oil, and give you a stronger breakpoint. Well, I mean depending on your style, but overall.

How is your Super Charge drilled?
Have you considered polishing it so it will retain
more energy for the backend?

Thanks for the feedback everyone.  Based on this thread and my own research I think I'm going to end up buying a triple extreme based on the fact that it should give me a bigger difference in reaction to my Super Charge.  Although I think the Deuce would work I don't think it will be that much stronger in heavy oil than the Super Charge.  I probably won't buy it for another week - so if anyone thinks I'm way off base with my assesment I'd be happy to listen.

For reference I usually like to drill with CG in my palm and the pin over my ring finger.  I have no intentions of polishing my Super Charge to make it go longer... that's why I own a Depth Charge.
