- Bull Whip

First Impressions
With the Bull Whip, AMF brings a fascinating new development to market that impresses above all with its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Whip Core, which with a 2.56 RG and a 0.038 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with a polished finish supports this characteristic massively, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually it's a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Bull Whip to the Storm Tropical Surge, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Storm Tropical Surge tends to read a bit earlier, while the Bull Whip holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts far more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Tropical Surge starts to lose energy in the pocket or enters too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Bull Whip offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations in which the Tropical Surge no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength when the lane has already been played in a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, it allows you to move systematically further inside and play the pocket from a much deeper angle. It works excellently on medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, quick-reacting surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed out, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
