fire diablo
« on: March 19, 2006, 09:28:04 AM »
this ball is sweet! needed a piece for longer patterns, and also something to open up the lanes in a house that is known for tight backends. drilled up my diablo pin 3 3/8 from pap, cg 1 1/2 from my pap. need a balance hole on the val in the thumb quadrant, a basic rev leverage drilling. i am very happy with this ball. the motion of the diablo is one i haven't had in a long time: strong move, continuious backend. i was hard to blow it through the breakpoint. i'll update you guys next week, i'm bowling in a tournament thats using the 41' world championship pattern, untill then good luck!

Agreed! Very sweet ball indeed.  Extremely strong ball at that price point.  

Reactor solid + Twin V core = WOW!

The difference I see in the two is that the Diablo reads earlier and starts hooking in the mids with a strong, continuos move through the pins.  The FU goes longer and makes a very strong, almost snappy move on the back end.  Each ball has its place in my bag for different conditions that I face.  The two compliment each other very well...kinda like peanut butter and jelly.  LOL

If I'm not mistaken, the Eraser Banshee was the replacement for the Recharge...from my profile, you can see that I also have an EB as well.  The FU is MUCH STRONGER than the EB and can handle more oil (notice they are both drilled about the same and both are polished to 1500).  The EB still has a place in my arsenal as well...short/medium length, light oil.

I have had both the Fired Up and the Diablo.  Both great pieces of equipment and love the price range they are in.  I wish i would have given them more time, The fired up had a unique reaction of which i havent seen, it was the strongest pearl ball I'd ever seen but it didnt snap it was the hardest most readble move ive seen.  The diablo had teeth.  This ball would bite it some of the slickest conditions.  But it needed head oil or it would die.  Need less to say on the given condition these balls are the shiz nit.  Can''t wait to put the pyro in my hand it going to be here today.  Will post my mini review soon.

Boy do I love bowling, stone 8,stone 9, ringer 7,fly by 10,fast six got to love this game.  Short look at what most of my games look like with a few strikes peppered in between.  Isn't it wonderful.
