Shift vs. Angular One
« on: March 02, 2008, 02:27:20 PM »
How does the Shift compare with the Angular One? I know Randy Pederson did a video on this but they didnt show the same layout and i know there was a bunch of crud about the whole thing. So i would like some real info from everyone on here. And dont waste your breath telling me about ball death. All i want to know is which goes longer, which has more hook, and which has more backend. Thanks in advance for the help.

I haven't thrown either, but common sense would tell me the Shift would be just a little bit earlier rolling than the Angular One since it has a light particle load.

Well I have both and my shift is much weaker than my Angular One. Both are at 4000 no polish, with the shift having a stronger drill. My angular one gets into a roll sooner and is much more continous on the backs. I very rarely throw the AO because i usually can't find enough oil for it. The shift, I have to wait for clean backends to see that work well. Its an enigma but this is my result with the two. I have had success with the shift, since my area tends to be a little on the drier side, but overall i am kinda disappointed witht he ball.

my shift has a stronger backend but the angular has a smoother earlier roll....
My shift is kinda skip/flippy as well.

I have the "house" layout with pin under ring.  For the Shift I do need a hook spot on the backend and some oil helping it get down there.  Whenever I can use this ball, I get more strikes on a house shot with this one than any of my other stuff.  Must match up well or something?

I wouldn't mind having another one with the tournament sort of layout...

I try to roll mine more and it just makes a REALLY hard turn instead of skid flipping.

The balls were layed out the same. I was at the shoot. The SHIFT made the Angular One look sick. It was MUCH stronger on the backend.
