HOW does Bowlingball.com come up with its: (Perfect Scale)?

The Perfect Scale™ uses mathematical formulas along with the manufacturer's current scale to arrive at a uniform and comparable number. .

That being said,

It's just a marketing gimmick and it's ratings can be inaccurate, you can find a lot balls with very different hook ratings. But you wouldn't see much more than a board of difference between them if you drilled them the same.

But man did it make me feel confident buying my Storm Sync when I first starting bowling again...

Now I just feel silly, but hey...the marketing worked as intended!

What do you consider "stronger"? If your comparing ball motion down lane then that makes sens as the Freeze has a higher rg, a lower diff, is 4k+ polish. The Brawler has a lower rg than the Freeze so it will rev up sooner. It has a higher differential so it will flare more. And it also has more surface ,500 + Rough Buff which translates to 1200-1500. The Brawler is also a Hybrid vs Pearl of the Freeze. The Brawler is stronger in that it will handle more oil

As for Michael's question of why a robot? It's for consistancy of release to take the human element out of the results

yeah i understand that but you made alittle mistake my freeze is not a pearl its the original one that came out but you say the brawler will rev up sooner but my freeze always has alot more revs off my hand.

i will get a video with my new video camera that i just got (its a $650 camera and got it for $199)

THE KING OF the Magic formula!! What ever that is..... 231.90 not 232,,,, that's next year!!! ( So,,,, they use mathematical formulas for a bowling ball's perfect scale???

why not film it, but have the Robotic Arm make the delivery? That Robotic that the USBC uses in their demo's! I think that would be a somewhat fair way to judge it with a slow motion overhead camera,,, but then you would need the oil to be the same, ect ect..

I WANT TO KNOW,,, give me that formula bowlingboard.com.... is it FOR REAL,,, of just make believe, like Peter Pan!! lol

FYI:
The Original Columbia Freeze came out back in 2009 and was a Reactive Pearl.

Next was the Freeze Solid and Freeze Hybrid which come out back in 2012

The new freeze that came out this year is a remake of the Original Columbia Freeze


But the Brawler compared to the Freeze solid would still be a little stronger. It still has a lower RG than the solid freeze.

The "rev up sooner" is not referring to the rev's off your hand. It's referring to RG of the ball.

"The rg measurement gives you an indication of how soon the ball "wants" to get into a roll down the lane. The lower the rg is, the more the ball is designed to roll early. This gives the perception of hooking more, because they hook earlier than balls with higher rg's."

[MICHAEL]

When you look at the balls in action, they all seem to get to the pocket and strike!! ALL OF THEM,,, their paths might, and do vary somewhat, but they all get there. Its just a matter of finding the right angle ect ect.. that puts it there, and being a great bowler like all the stars they use to show them off!

If they want to show what a new ball can do, they should use Iceman! I am no Fricken pro... let me be a ball tester!!

If that ball is magic, let it prove it to me, and all the other average bowlers out there that think their ball is going to work magic!!

Call it the ICEMAN Perfect Scale!! Any pro can make a fricken ball work magic,,, lets see some 7 10 leaves and 10 pin leaves... I never see that in a demo... THEY ALL LOOK magnificent, or as I put it THE SAME!

I bet I could darken out the color of a ball, and 100 percent could not name the ball by its action!! LOL

What is the PERFECT SCALE,,, In the last few years have balls really changed?? How would we know,,, the formula is
TOP SECRET!! LOL

thanks for declaring most of that bowl but 1 thing is my freeze seems to start the hook sooner then the brawler i will try to get a few videos of throwing both balls on the 5 board

and bowl when i was on bowlingball.com it dose not say the original freeze is a pearl it says it's a reactive resin with polish on the ball.

sorry bowl i should of re-read what i put and made sure i put the right thing down that was my fault

The original freeze is discontinued they are just showing the newer ones.

Here's from the review of the Remake of the Freeze that came out this year:

"The Freeze is back in it's original pearlized cover.
"The new Freezes are remakes of the original Freeze from a few years ago."
Coverstock
Name: NE2 (New Era 2)
Type: Reactive Pearl
Box Finish: 4000 Polished

Michael, if I had to guess what goes into the Perfect Scale, it's probably got to do with RG, differentials, and a determinator. I doubt very much that they'd drill the balls and throw them down the lane when they could easily slap a fresh one on a machine.

And hand-fed, free-range organic chickens multiply the score x2.

yeah i know the old freeze you cant get anymore but if you go on bowlingball.com and type in freeze at the bottom is the old freeze and it dose not say anything about a pearl on it thats why i said it was not a pearl i also looked on columbia 300 site and it dose not say pearl reactive on there eather on the the older freezes

buy bowl i'm not saying your wrong or that i'm wrong. i'm just saying on bowlingball.com and columbia300.com says nothing about the old freeze being a pearl like i know it would be reactive pearl ubt on bowlingball.com it says reactive resin they still have 2 old freezes on bowlingball.com there are on the 2nd page in the c300 bowling ball area
