607a VS Hammer Burn
« on: December 08, 2010, 04:38:11 AM »
How close are they?  My burn is pretty strong midlane and backend but it's starting to lose some reaction.

From what I have seen, the Burn has much more flippy breakpoint. The 607A makes a very hard, very large turn but it seems to be more controllable. Besides that the 607 is a solid and the Burn is a pearl.

607 is definitely not as flippy as the Burn

Sounds alright.  What surface are you using your 607a's at?

First time out with this ball and the burn combined.
Burn is 1000 grit with a smidge of polish.
- drilled  30x5.5x40  this puts the pin over the bridge and cg kicked out with an xhole on my VAL.
607a is 1000 with a good amount of polish.
- drilled 70x5x70  this puts the pin just under the bridge and the mb under and 1/4 right of the thumb.  no x-hole

The burn is MUCH stronger, midland and downlane.  The burn flares about 5-6 rings and about 1/2 inch apart.
The 607 flares VERY tight and around 2-3 rings.
This is going to be the BEST dry lane ball, i can't waite to adjust the surface and have a great cheetah and LATE shift ball.

What are your stats in terms of ball speed and rev rate?

While I think the 607A at 1000 w/polish would be great for Cheetah, on a true second shift late league such an aggressive surface, even with polish, the 607A should be to much ball. Obviously, this analysis depends on your speed and rev rate though.

Besides these balls being fairly different IF THEY WERE DRILLED THE SAME, your VAL angles will put them so far apart as to be complementary  and not competitive.

My rev rate is around 350, maybe a smidge higher.  My speed varies from 16-17mph depending on the pattern.

Isn't the RG on the burn lower than the 607?  The pin is only .5" lower on the 607.
