Perfect Scale: 233.1

Breakpoint Shape:   Skid/Flip

Personal Ball Reaction:  More roll than skid flip.  Large sweeping arc good for opening angles but becomes more sensitive to speed and hand.   Bigger responding ball good for heavy oil into friction.  Missing inside will result in skidding past break point.

Perfect Scale:  228.2

Breakpoint Shape:  Extreme Mid-Lane & Backend

Personal Ball Reaction:  Must get to friction if throwing with speed.  Continuous sweeping arc and "rolley" backend but start it in oil.  Good for opening up angles into friction.  Does not seem to over react unless you completely miss release angle or launch speed.  Will skate past break point if pulled into longer oil.  (Typical of Cohesion Characteristics)

Perfect Scale:  225.5

Breakpoint Shape:  Clean/Angular

Personal Ball Reaction:  Not Angular!  but smooth and rolley. Not quite the slow pearl we were hoping for.  Still Needs Surface!  Very sensitive to hand position very over-under until you change surface. Better for dryer back ends playing straight or opening up angles.  Will miss the breakpoint if pulled inside.  Similar in motion as the Ivory Rhino Pro but starts later and does not flip as violently.
