    In many cases the two can be interchangeable. ROFLMAO!

    The Columbia Antics is one of my current favorites. I put Factory Finish Polish on it before I took it to have it drilled. Plenty strong enough even with the polish! I do wish the coverstock was more durable. It seems to be somewhat more vulnerable to gouges/scratches/cuts.

    Watching "ball review" videos is more entertainment anymore than it is informative. Ball specs are more important than what a video attempts to demonstrate. Every video is the same. Strike after strike. I would be more interested in watching video of someone throwing three games on the same pair with no editing. That would give a better representation of what a ball does over the course of 3 games, and what the bowler needs to do to keep the ball in play. That is more useful to me.
