Sure Fire and Rapid Fire comparison
« on: February 22, 2008, 02:52:01 PM »
Lets start out by saying 2 great balls (there storms what else could I expect)


Sure Fire is laid out just like the suggested layout on the Track Rising pin under the bridge with the cg kicked way out and a balance hole on or very close to my PAP just so the ball would be smooth. I wanted this ball for a little bit of a fresher shot and I wanted it to be very smooth for the PBA patters and my tighter medium oil tournament shots and the ball does just that

I subed in a league the day I dont it on heaveyish oil wood and I had to play from 11 to about 7 and it hit the pocket well but I couldnt carry this has been an ongoing problem with this house with me since they changed the pattern so I put the ball in the bag and took out my Cherry Vibe and played strait up 7 and still couldnt carry I tried everything and the carry was horrible until the last game so no points against the Sure Fire so after the league I kept my pair and Threw 2 games i was playing 12 to about 6 and the ball faced the pocket beautiful and I strung the first 9 and then just messed up and got a 9 count so not so bad so overall the ball is very very smooth and predictable I have a feeling it will be my get out of the negative pins free ball haha.


Now for the Rapid Fire I had this drilled with the pin up and right of my ring finger with the CG in my grip center same drilling as my fired up and I can play the same line with this ball as the Sure Fire but the Rapid fire goes probably a foot and a half longer and is very sharp on the backend with this ball I could carry with but the reason I didnt use it was because I wasnt getting out of it quite right(I got it the same day as the Sure Fire)so then when I got the tape in it right and I got out of it good I Loved the reaction I saw and the pattern I was bowling on was 42 feet so I can see it working much better on shorter oil

And this is the Storm forum... Pin under bridge is visual enough!
