Title: Which reads midlane sooner
Post by: Long Roller on May 12, 2006, 05:28:42 AM

Pyro or Agent.  My teamate is having problems leaving 10 pins in our summer league and is looking to get a ball that reads the midlane a little earlier.  Which one will start up sooner w/ the same drilling?

I haven't seen either, so it would be hard to say.  I might expect the Pyro to roll a little sooner due the particle pearl coverstock, but the Agent does have a lower RG and slightly higher differential.  They also come with the same box finish, however.  For me, particle pearls have always read the lane a little sooner than straight up reactive pearls, but we'll have to wait to hear from someone who has thrown both.

depends on the drilling for sure but my agent drilled to roll midlane and have continous backend starts a little later than i expected but the pyro i've seen and had on the same lane as me and the agent started much earlier

Besides buying a new ball, your friend can try scuffing the ball surface lightly. Should change the reaction shape a bit, smoothing out the breakpoint, and result in a slightly changed, less steep entry angle into the pins. Can have great effect on pin impact and spare leaves (and is cheap, too).
