[Amyers]

A comment for Amyers on Brunswick. I mentioned in another post that I had the Melee Hook I won drilled 50x4x30 and when it finds friction it rolls into the pocket with authority. I do hope this will last as it only has 6 games on it. My Mastermind Genius has the s/f style at 40x4x30.

I didn't say this with anything negative in mind towards Brunswick. I have had a Master Mind Genius for quite a while and it's my most used ball and just got a Vintage Danger Zone the other day. Everyone has areas they are weaker in and high end asymmetric balls just haven't been kind to them in recent memory. My wife just got a Mastermind Braniac. I'm not sure if I would call it skid flip but it's pretty close and looks good. On this really just meant that top line big back end ball just never seems to develop for them. None of the melee series have rolled well for me just think the low rg cores aren't for me but it has looked good when I've seen other throw it. The Hook and the Genius both feature plenty of hook but I wouldn't consider either of them super angular or skid/flip though.

I agree with Amyers like where he says your looking for these absolutes and your failure to grasp the fact that you make trade offs in bowling.

The ball spec's just give you a starting point, you then adjust them to fit your needs and style. Yes certain ball spec's lend themselves to be better skid/flip balls and a company might say that. That's why you have to understand what the spec's mean and how they apply to what you want to do to get the optimum reaction.

I find it odd that most people claim "PerfectScale" is useless...yet they believe cover stocks....they believe RGs....they believe in surfaces....all of which are taken into account with the PerfectScale. Most bowlers agree that the core does something....they just can't tell you exactly what it does.

The Perfect Scale isn't perfect because a lot of the calculations are based on non standardized information from the manufactures.

Example: The Hook & Length ratings each companies gives are added into the P.S. calculations, but the criteria the companies use to determine those ratings are different from company to company.

So say if company "A" says their ball has a hook rating of 50 and company "B" says theirs has a rating of 50, perfect scale will use 50 thinking both are the same.
But if you tested Company A's ball using company B's criteria it might only be a 45. And that's what skews the results in the perfect scale.

While the logarithm they use tries to take some of this into account, it's not perfect and conflicts come up.

One thing I find frustrating is watching the ball videos.

Well that's what sells balls, it's marketing. People like seeing the Hollywood shot, balls that make a big move left to right and yes they think that ball will let them do that.


Suggestion:
You might consider getting away from using all this overlong composition in your posts. Which cause people to start skimming the post not reading it. By condensing it and making it more concise, It would make it easier for readers to parse out the important parts and give better answers.

Also using words like Poopmaster, Stinkvomit divert attention away from what your trying say.

That assumes I have "important parts".

Way to wait until I post 5,000 times to make me more readable.

Well, just wait until 2018 when those balls are released...and I better get a free one given I came up with the names! I'll waive the copyright if I get a free ball...I'm very affordable that way.
