I might be joining the nation..
« on: March 01, 2005, 10:43:34 PM »
with this arsenal..

Heavy - Intense Inferno
Med - Time zone
Light - Power Groove Reactive Pearl
Plastic

Btw, I don't have much speed nor revs on my hand, so I assume that intense shouldn't be a prob. for me in oil?

*I'm a lefty playing outside lines, and often skid/snap is my way of playing.

That's the ball i'm looking for .. I need a ball which goes longer but with a solid backend into the pocket.

I think the intense might skid on you a bit, but with your slow ball speed you might be ok. My Intense had a nice midlane read and good pop on the back. Put a strong drilling on it for what you want it for. But the Ultimate is probably better.

Nope, no way an intense would work in oil. With slow speed it MIGHT, but when you also factor in low revs, it wont hook very much and probably wont carry very well. (that is, assuming is oob condition) A nemesis or ultimate would be good for heavier stuff. The only thing with the ultimate would be it might roll out and hit flat for you, since you have low revs and speed.

I dont know, he doesnt give much info about what hes bowling on. I'm just saying, in general, an intense on true heavy oil is not going to work.

My intense works great in heavy oil. I throw medium
revs and about 14-15mph and it skids the lane and slams
the pocket with a strong arc. Look at the picture of it
in my profile for the drilling. It was 2L on the drilling
chart.

Dev I'd say the Absolute is a safer bet on the heavy oil ball.  As stated earlier by someone, even though you dont throw the ball hard, you dont have a lot of hand either, which generally means they even eachother out.  That said, an Intense Inferno is not designed to give a maximized roll on oilier lane conditions, which is why I'd go with the earlier revving Absolute, then fine tune the cover as needed. :0

I need a ball which can go longer and recover as much also. I've balls which are drilled up for early revs but the entry to the pocket is so even that it's so flat. I've a storm el nino premier for oil which performs quite well for me(even i don have speed or revs), but I guess it's dying rather soon.

That's why i'm thinking of joining the nation.

The UI or the Nemesis would work great..  I have the Nemesis in my oil spot.. I don't see many floods, but on a freshly oiled lane it's great..Nice predictable arc...good carry threw the pins..and can still fill the spot if needed for when the lanes start to lighten up a tad..  I'm med revs.. 16+ at the deck..
