I went bowling today, using mainly the Granite, but at the end, switched over to my Ogres to see if I could get a read on how the Blurple matches with the original on a fresher shot (my first 3 games with the granite were the ONLY games bowled on the pair, it was a normal THS.
The original Ogre, as always, was about 2-3 boards weaker overall than the granite, BUT, had just as much punch at the pins as the Granite. I moved a few right as everything I have seen so far with the Blurple by me and on vid said it was cleaner without the huge jump on the back, and its RIGHT ON! Even on the fresh, the Blurple did not jump off the end of the pattern and had a smooth, but powerful arc to the pocket.
One thing about the Ogres is this, I just CAN NOT get over how hard these puppies hit. They just whack the pins, flat out.
I could see the typical house bowler purchase the Blurple and original ogre and have about 90% of what they will ever encounter covered. These balls are just that darn good!
