Monster Slay R, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2, sanded 1200 grit

what's everyone else using this fall ?
Geez, it's only July, for goodness sake. I usually don't decide on a Fall arsenal until the night before Winter league starts.
But here's what I'm using now, from strongest to weakest:
Danger Zone II Carbide (1E)
Fuze Igniter (1L)
PB III Long Skid (leverage-axis)
USA Viz-a-Ball (label)
All balls in box finish.
On edit: Deleted Target Zone (doesn't fit anymore after grip change), added USA Viz-a-ball.

The harder the play, the louder the boof.

I believe in drilling a ball to match its strengths. The Inferno & the Zone Classic have essentially the same coverstock. The Inferno is a strong midlane ball that wants to rev up and move earlier than the Classic Zone. Drill it with your favorite layout. The Classic Zone wants to push a bit further than the Inferno, and will have a later, sharper backend. Give this ball a layout more conducive to length. This will allow you to cover a pretty wide range with these two balls.

Sure wish Brunswick still made a 2-piece urethane solid.
Me too
Would it really be that hard for them to take the existing Urethane Groove and replace the pancake weight block with that from the Power Grooves (Modified Pancake core with 2 flip discs)? Now that is a ball that I would be interested in as I love the way my Power Groove just plows through the pins. Those added flip discs do make a noticable difference.

raging inferno.....maroon scotch-brite pad
ultimate inferno.....wetsanded 1,000 grit
zone classic.....wetsanded 2,000 grit, brunswick high gloss polish
inferno.....wetsanded 2,000 grit, several cycles in lustrekleen
monster slayR.....wetsanded 3,000 grit, many cycles in lustrekleen
notre dame viz-a-ball
it may seem odd to have the inferno so far down the "hookability" scale but i got it in feb. 2003. and despite trips to the rejuvinator, cleanings, hot water soakings, hook again powder, etc. this ball has lost some of it's original power. no matter, it will still fill a gap and will see use.

Goliath: Coming Soon
Inferno: 4 1/2 x 4
Raging Red Fuze: 4 x 4
Command Zone Arc: 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
Monster Slay/R: 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 1500 wetsand
Time Zone: 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 high gloss
Monster Scream/R: 4 1/2 x 4 3/4
Teal Rhino Pro: 4 x 5, super high gloss
I've gotten rid of my Blazing Inferno and I'm redrilling the Teal Rhino. If that doesn't work in dry, I have a Sonic boom drilled for length that can fit the spot. For my Big Oil ball I'll probaly go with Goliath since I'm not liking what I've seen from the Ultimate(Just too versatile on many conditions, and it works so well polished it's not really a true oil ball).

Did I read that right? You don't like the Ultimate because it's *too* versatile?

Warp Zone
Eliminator
Inferno
Blazing
SlayR
And this is what i'm considering for the fall
Ultimate
Eliminator
Classic Zone
Blazing
Power Groove solid, shined
SlayR
It all depends on what we can get from our ball contract really, i only wish i had the money to get everything i wanted. If somehow we get more balls i want a Intense to take spot of the Blazing. Still pondering layouts also, i want to have my stuff a little weaker this time to try to gain some more control downlane. The Warp Zone has less than like 10 games, but the drilling was too crazy and i want to try the ultimate.
