Title: Avalanche slide
Post by: LotsaBalls on April 26, 2009, 12:45:43 PM

Just punched one up 2 3/4 pin to pap large hole 2 1/4 down val and this ball is a monster. I had both the previous avalanches both were good but never great, I drilled this ball for shorter patterns to get through the heads and be smooth in the back. It is deffinatly smooth but its a monster on medium oil and it hits like a truck.

Since it's supposed to be a drier lanes ball, shouldn't that be very true?

I mean, the more it hates oil, the better it should perform on dry lanes?????

I bought mine for toasty lanes starting in the 2nd game.

Ball is 5 1/2 ptp with a 4 " pin and a weight hole in the thumb quad..

It's 40ft of straight, 20 ft of snap..

Ball gets though the heads super clean even in dry condition, but the backend is..well..hard..

Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!

Something like Valentino's UFO (or better yet, exactly that) could soften up the backend, if it's too much snap for you. If you don't like it, a light hand sanding (600 grit green pad or similar) removes it. Then just repolish it.

Also, I'm not 100% positive, if Brunswick followed their normal polishing routinewith the Avalanches, but if they did (400 grit + polish), you could try 2000 grit Arbalon pad + polish. Again, if not satisfactory, restoring it is easy.
