I've been asked to join a team, after being out of bowling for more than 8 years. My question is what type of ball to get. When I left I was using a Sumo and a Black Angle and averaging about 212.

My normal shot is basically down and in, usually somewhere around the 10th board and about 18-19 mph (the new auto scoring is wild, where's the yellow pencils). I rarely have trouble on dry lanes, because I can swing the ball a little and my speed. When I struggle, it is usually on very slick lanes. I don't want something I can't control, but I would like to take care of the new technology.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, when I walk onto the lanes next week with a Sumo, I'm going to feel like Fred Flintsone. Maybe I should use my LT-48.

Thanks again.

Like Bighook said, the Slash is a very versatile ball able to cover many different conditions.

Personally, I would go with the V2 Sanded. Has been in production longer than most balls out there because there still selling. I have one and it has over 750 games on it and it's still reacting fine. In fact, I like it better now than before.lol. Plus it's in the midline range. Save about 50-60 bucks. I seriously doubt a hi performance ball will be able to overcome the power and consistency I find in teh V2 Sanded. Give it a look. For your information, it's Ebonite.
