Avalanche Urethane
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
- Color: Blue Pearl/Purple Pearl
- Coverstock: Urethane
- Weightblock: Teal Rhino Pro Light Bulb (12#-16#)
- Finish: Rough Buff High Gloss
- RG Max: 2.548
- RG Min: 2.524
- RG Average: 4.2 (Scale: Center Heavy 1-Core Heavy 10)
- RG Differential: .024
- Hook Potential: 50 (Scale: 10-175)
- Length: 180 (Scale: 25-235)
- Breakpoint Shape: 50 (Scale: Smooth Arc 10-Angular 100)
- Recommended Lane Conditions: Dry to Medium-Dry Oil
- Description: The Avalanche Blue/Purple Pearl uses a retro Urethane coverstock. Designed for extra length and a smooth predictable ball motion the Avalanche Urethane is designed for lighter amounts of oil and a more “down the boards” line to the pocket. All Avalanche balls use the acclaimed Teal Rhino Pro light bulb core. The Teal Rhino Pro light bulb core has been at the heart of some of the most successful balls of all time. With its High Gloss Polish surface the Avalanche Urethane will match-up well on dry to medium-dry lane conditions. Shiny surface finishes sometimes cause the ball to go too long before breaking. If your Avalanche Urethane goes too long, dull the surface with progressively rougher abrasives to increase hooking action. The Avalanche Urethane is at its maximum length surface preparation. If your Avalanche Urethane hooks too early, you will need to use a less aggressive ball, such as Brunswick’s T Zone Polyester to create more length.

COMMENTS



Likes:  Very soft move off of the dry, lets me play more direct angles on dry lanes



Dislikes:  oil and deep angles



I drilled the Urethane Avalanche pin above the bridge (about 5" to my PAP) to help it get down lane to compliment my 2x Green Avalanches with long, low pins to play more in the track on drier lanes. This ball provides more length than the green avalanches with a super slow move off the dry.  I took the cover down to 2000 grit, as this ball tended to wiggle a bit in the carrydown due to the high pin and pearl urethane cover. 
I would recommend this ball for anybody who is speed challenged/rev dominant that wants to be able to play out where the lower rev players are scoring.  This is a ball that will help keep you in play when the lanes are dry and provide you with an option to go more direct on drier lanes.


***I ended up taking the cover down to 500 and 1000 grit and actually saw BETTER results than I did at 2000.  I highly recommend taking this ball down in grit, because come on, who really needs a shiny pearl urethane in 2011...
