Dimension vs. Second Dimension
« on: May 23, 2010, 06:56:51 AM »
After doing a whole ton of research into my next ball, I have settled upon the Second Dimension.

I currently have the original Dimension and I love it to put it bluntly.  It's not very often I see enough oil to use it, but when I do it's a beast.  I'm getting the Second Dimension to replace an older piece in my arsenal (The Pyro), and my goal is to have good length with a strong motion down lane.  

I was just wondering: how much oil can this ball handle?  The Storm website says it's for medium oil, so I figure it's probably functional on everything but the extremes.  What have you guys seen in your experiences?

Thanks in advance!

I have thrown this ball before and depending on how you have it drilled, it can be pretty early rolling.  I found the ball to hook just as early as my Virtual Gravity.  If your wanting a good downstep from the Dimension, the Virtual Energy or Cell Pearl are good choices.  The Reign would leave too big of a gap, but my Reign has more angle then the Second Dimension.  I have seen Norm Duke use this ball on the Cheetah with great results. It will handle heavier oil but you must play more direct because it don't have as much on the back as other pearls.  Hopes this helps.

If you liked your Pyro, you will love the 2nd Dimension, hard arcing ball with good length. Not a skid snap ball.

Depending on when your getting it, the new Prodigy coming this summer is going to be the replacement for the Dimension line.  It has the Second Dimension cover with a new core and a 4000 finish.  I know someone that has already thrown it and said its an outstanding ball.

I was actually thinking about this, but I match up fantastic with the cover/core combo of the original Dimension.  If I love R2X and that low RG/high differential core, it only makes sense to get the pearlized version.

@T C 300: That's the plan so far. My dimension is drilled pretty strongly, probably very close to 3 and 3/8 pin to PAP (pin is in ring finger, my axis is 4 3/16 over, 3/8 up).  I was just asking as a general question as to how much oil these two balls can handle in relation to one another, that's all.

@Solid 9: I loved my Pyro a ton. My game has changed a ton in the past year, and now the Pyro isn't what it used to be.  Granted it's old, so it could be a combination of a ton of things.  I tried a ton of surfaces on it, drilling my fingers deeper, and it still just wouldn't do what it used to.  Sad, but that's the way it goes.  That said, I'm looking very forward to getting the Second Dimension.  Friday, I get to punch it up
