Kinetic V.S. Ebonite Raid
« on: August 29, 2007, 10:52:14 PM »
Can anyone give a comparison of these two balls? I'm trying to decide between the two and can't make up my mind. These balls seem to have the same type of ball reactions and I just wanted some opinions. Lane conditions don't really matter, I'll find a use for either, but mainly for medium synthetic lanes with some carrydown. I just wanted to know everyone's personal preferences.

Thanks!

adman,

The difference between them is that the Kinetic moves more in the backend. Their ball motion is similiar, but at the breakpoint The Kinetic pulls harder. When you stated carrydown I almost immediately chimed in with The Kinetic. As long as you can get the ball further right into the friction it will get through the carrydown.

Thanks for the insight Carl! Much appreciated. I think I will go with the Kinetic. I've always preferred Track but at the same time I don't want to limit myself and ignore other products out there.

Ebonite Raid is definatly a monster. Have also thrown the Kinetic, and they are really the same ball, different core. I also believe that the cover on the Kinetic, is the 12.7 GP that is on the Raid.

I agree with carl that the kinetic is stronger on the  backend than the raid.I believe the raid is a little sooner and the kenitic is little cleaner through the fronts.These are 2 great bowling balls.You cant go wrong either way, i have been using the raid for a little while now and its a beast.These 2 balls might been two of the best balls on the market in terms of backend.
