Good ball for faster speeds

[mma1027]

I currently have the black widow solid and the sauce and when i throw them faster i cant get the same reaction. What would be a good ball to throw faster with the same reaction. Im currently looking at the columbia momentun and the storm gravity shift. Do you think these balls would work for me?

Both are strong balls, esp. the Sauce. What is actually the problem you are facing with them? Do you get a good reaction with a normal release, just have problems when you raise speed? Or is it a general problem that you do not get any reaction out of them? Your input is a bit vague, but I'd guess that it won't become better with an additional ball in the bag.

yes i get very good reaction with regular speeds. I just lose reaction when i try to speed the ball up

With extra speed, the ball has less time to work on the lane, and it is harder for the cover to build traction up.
For starters, I'd take the ball with the lower pin or stronger layout (or the Sauce if they are drilled the same, since it has a rollier core) and open up the surface with an Abralon pad or sand paper - I's start with 1.000 grit and see what happens. The dull surface will make the ball read the lane earlier, so that you should see some better results than before, even though the reaction shape should become more even overall. If you want more recation, you can try coarser grits down to 400, which is really matte.
Additionally, you could add a flare-increasing weight hole above your PAP, which helps the ball hook a bit more and earlier without changing much else.
Only if this does not help, I'd consider another ball, but esp. with the Sauce in the bag you shoudl find a solution.
