912T compared to the Mission X
« on: February 07, 2013, 01:59:26 PM »
Would the 912T be a lot stronger than the Ebonite Mission X in box condition?

Thanks for the help.

I have a Mission X drilled pin way  up! 

I have also thrown a 716T( a touch less than the 912T from Videos I have seen).

I believed the 716T was all the ball I would EVER need and my Mission X if pin next to ring would be dead equal.

As a rev dominant player I can't ever having balls stonger than those 2 or needing more.  I believe the 912T is about 2 boards stronger!

the 912t OBB is a beast, I dont know where i could even use it
i dont see the kind of volume needed for this piece
if you are rev limited or see higher volumes, then this piece would be great

I suppose i could polish it, but it would be to conditional for me
I was able to try it at a demo days last fall, it hooks and hooks.....


my stronger pieces are
Outburst
716T
Challenge

And these fit the bill nicely for me

I drilled up a 912T last week and I was afraid of the box surface, so I went with 3000 abralon. Once the cover calmed down, I was able to read that ball well. It is everything as advertised. That is the best ball I have thrown on a higher volume speed sensitive shot like that. It cleared the fronts well, read the mids excellent, faced up and hit like a locomotive. All light hits went down. I was able to make that ball do what I wanted with ease. What a beast
