Looking for a Benchmark Ball fot THS (9G/AMF)
« on: March 15, 2013, 12:11:05 PM »
Since my driller is new to 9G/AMF, I am shopping for a ball to be used on a fresh Main Street THS. The pattern plays slicker due to the laneboy's experimentation with the stripper strength and the late dressing of the lanes (hour prior). ME - 61 yo 201 book in one league - 14/15 mph with med/lesser revs likes to tweak the ball to the right. What would be your choice(s)?? Currently using a 716C @ 2K for fresh. Driller threw out Look or GMamba?? War Eagle looks interesting?? I will not post this in the AMF forum due to the tonguelashing from the forum police.

THX to all that have spent some of their valuable time replying to this post. Since this my last week of league for the season, I will let my driller (9G staffer) roadtest the War Eagle & Mamba Hybrid for the summer & punch something b4 league starts in mid August. Possibly a new offering this summer?????

If you want it, go after it and make it happen.  If you don't, you have no one to blame but yourself....or maybe your just not throwing the right equipment  :)

S70BP - I was wanting a ball above my Dirty Look. Since I have not seen the Rip It (except on video), will it handle more oil than the DL?? I assume that I would need to go to 2K on the DL to make a difference??

IMO, current ball above the DL would be the War Eagle. Having my Look and War Eagle at OOB surface, the War Eagle is earlier and stronger due to the weight block.

My idea of a benchmark ball is one that reads the lane well and I am confident with what kind of reaction I will get.  The war eagle has become that for me. It's strong but not super strong, it tells me exactly what the lanes are doing and it's reaction is always great. I highly recommend to anyone. I'm 4 weeks with it now of league and used it 11 games during my Friday night league. High game 256 low game 224. It's consistent!
Also been practicing on usbc open patterns. Looks great on team pattern!!

Since I'd started using the Black Eagle and War Eagle as a 1-2 combo for league, mine carry percentage have gone up tremendously.  It is so nice showing up for league bowling with complete confident in the equipment. 900 G should name their next bowling ball Nirvana (Free from worry).  ;D

Also, if you can find a double clutch pearl, it is a great benchmark ball as well.  I am thinking the new rip it would be very close to the double clutch pearl?  If so I am definitely picking one up!

Two benchmark balls - I have these both but are not using because I am now using Radical.
I have a Double Clutch Pearl - Single Drill and
900G Sure Thing single drill

Both are 15# and both are very controllable.

Give me a PM if you are interested, they are both in great shape - Pro Shop maintained !
