Marvel and Victory Road
« on: December 14, 2010, 08:52:33 AM »
Storm Marvel

- COLOR: Teal/Sky Blue/Black
- COVERSTOCK: R2X Solid Reactive
- CORE: Centripetal

- DESCRIPTION: With the next Prodigy- the Marvel, the intent is to create a motion that is more aggressive, especially in oil, than the original version. Looking at the success of the original Virtual Gravityâ„¢, it‟s clear that bowlers love to see a strong midlane roll that doesn‟t quit on the backend, so that is our goal!

britton we need the low downon the marvel
is it just a beefier dimension or actually comparable to a vg!!!



Threw them both tonight so this is purely a first impression.

The Victory road seems like a reign that isint as sensitive to the friction.  Its hard to describe but its really like a cross between a hyroad and a reign.  Earlier than a reign and stronger downlane than the hyroad and reign supreme.  The lanes got extremely wet/dry tonight after about a game so i put it away and went to a trop heat hybrid for a weaker and smoother more controlled look.

The Marvel OOB seems very comparable to a dimension, just stronger.  Strong roll throughout the entire lane that doesnt quit.  If you take it to 4000 it MAY be closer to a virtual but its really tough to tell with the few frames i put on it.  When we do the video (after the holidays) i will take the surface to 4000 and maybe also throw some polish on it and compare the 3 surfaces for everyone.

Im sorry, and I will probably get flamed for this, but these Asian videos are horrible. The guy drills everything stack leverage, stands in the middle, throws it to the right, and the ball rolls out before it gets to the pocket. Every ball he throws looks the exact same. The lane condition is not really specific either. "Medium-Heavy", what does that mean? Volume, length of the pattern?

Okay....sorry not very familiar with the Dimension.

 

For Britton....I'm assuming a 4000 grit surface is lsee than the Dimension and similar to the Virtual Gravity ie creating more backend for the Marvel..

 

Is that right?

 

REgards,
