I understand.. I've read many of your articles.. I see the ball "strength" as how much oil it requires to read the midlanes properly and achieve roll at the proper time without rolling out. saying "step down" is easier than saying "a ball that I can move to when the thug unruly begins reading to early, and I need to extend the skid length" That is also what I'm trying to accomplish between the Optimus and Marvel Pearl. I'm not trying to get a ton of separation. Like with my 10 pin problem the other day I really just needed something to enter the hook phase a touch later but not as late as the Hyroad Pearl. (Not because its "weak" but because the volume of oil was too great to read the midlane until too late which resulted in hitting during the hook phase).
I believe naturally thy Optimus and Marvel are very close and the Optimus does read a pinch earlier. I really think the Fusion has that area covered so I"m thinking of having something just a little bit below that reads a bit later. What I may end up doing is keeping the Optimus at 1500 polish and Moving the Marvel to 4000 to create that separation. So it would be Unruly (4000), Fusion (4000), Marvel (4000), Optimus (1500 Polish), Hyroad (4000, or polish?), Hyroad Pearl (1500 Polish), Tropical Breeze (1500 Polish)
On paper it looks good to me. In terms of experiece, when I had the Marvel at 4000 before it was very good for me and still game me lots of length. The optimus at 4000 just seemed to have its angularity tamed way too much. This may be partially due to the layout which was done when my PAP was 5.75 x .75 up . (it is now 3.5 x 0 up)
