I was looking at the RoF, It looks like it hits hard, and is pretty predictable.. BB.com says it has a higher perfect scale score, but what does that mean to me? Just more aggressive overall, or in heavy oil?

Oh...my...god, another BR member who thinks "hit" has anything to do with the ball. How can a ball LOOK like it hits hard? "Hit" is very simple, if you have the right combination of ball speed, revolutions, axis rotation, axis tilt and angle of entry on the correct lane condition, any ball will "hit". If you don''t match all of these factors, any ball can hit like a marshmallow.

That said, the RoF probably handles a little more volume than the Diamondback, and should be stronger overall.

yea , n00b thing to say.. I didnt mean it like that, Just meant by how it rolls into the pins, not something like " it exploded the pins , Like OMG"

TY tho .. A friend of mine was actually looking at picking one up and it caught my attention.. He throws a hammer black Vibe and hates it for anything other than dry conditions, and wanted something mmore aggressive, I suggested the fast, the rattler or even a wild ride drilled weak, sisnce they are on sale at our pro shop now for 119 drilled w/ inserts and slug ..

What's that? StormBowler83 is being a douche instead of trying to help someone out? Shocking. Just...shocking.

From what I can tell on the BB.com Perfect Scale, the higher the number the more oil a bowling ball can handle.

I have personally thrown neither of these, but I've seen people throw the RoF and the Diamondback in league. From what I've seen, the RoF is a bit more aggressive in the backend, being able to create a touch more angle. I would say the two are pretty comparable, it's just a matter of if you want Storm of Brunswick really.

thank you sir .. Im checking for him now, just to see what you guys think.. I now have a Diamondback, a T zone, and my newest A blue and red freeze, which I just ordered .. HOPEFULLY its a good compliment to my DB, But less aggressive and for drier/broken down lanes since the only problem I have had with the DB comes when the lanes dry up

You are gonna have a hard time on dry lanes with your freeze unless you have a ton of speed. Don't forget it has the momentum coverstock so I would say its more of a medium-medium-light condition piece, at least mine is. It is a great ball though.

hmm, well if nothing else HOPEFULLY it will compliment the DB well with just being a polished ball that is a bit weaker.. Last night I was averaging 17-17.5 mph with around 320 rev. Slowing the revs down a bit is easy but when I slow down ball speed it messes up my whole release.. Like I said maybe I can just drill the freeze pin up, but a little weak.. anything to help it just get through the goofy midlane once it starts breaking down..

My DB rolls very early so if it hits dry in the midlane its almost impossible for me to hit the pocket, and always hits hi..

Any suggestions?
