another Goliath question
« on: August 30, 2004, 07:34:09 AM »
How many of you that have or haven't thrown the Goliath truly believe that this ball out hooks anything out on the market right now for heavy oil?  I mean out hook as in overall hook and being able to keep up with the crazy amounts of oil.  and if you don't think that this ball hooks the most, then what do you think hooks the most overall that is still out on the market?  and oh yeah, does the Warp Zone hook just like the Goliath just skids a little through the heads to get more backend?

No, this ball should be stronger than the warp zone.  They obviously have different cores and more can be done with assymetrical stuff i think, but the goliath is a heavy load particle with a higher RG.  It's not gona skid through the front, like you may think, but it will continue it's hooking motion longer in the backend.

I agree with UCFKnight300, that the Goliath rolls early and has a continuous backend reaction. I just got one drilled up for my dad and he loves it. It works great on Freshly oiled lanes with clean backends. The balls really does have a skid snap arc reaction. Perfect ball to use and very non expensive.
Give it a try.

How does the ball handle heavy amounts of oil in the front along with massive amounts of carry down?

But you still haven't answered my question, do you think that the Goliath truly out hooks anything else on the market from ANY company, and if you don't think so, which one do you believe should get the honor of having the most hook in oil throughout the entire lane?

I answered one of your questions, i don't know much about other companies stuff as far as how much overall hook they have.  I would say that my opinion is that it will outhook anything else.  And if you are just looking for the STRONGEST BALL IN THE WORLD, you should learn more about the game first.  

And platinum, if a lane has massive amounts of oil in the fronts and a ton of carrydown, you need to find a new bowling center that strips and then oils.  Because the only way you get a ton of carrydown is when the oil up front moves to the back of the lane after numerous games, that is carrydown.  But good luck finding what you're looking for.

UCF, you see, I know what carrydown is. The idea here is that my center puts a lot of oil in the front, and even when there is a lot of carry down, there is still a significant amount of oil in the heads. I'm not saying it's flooded in front at that time. It starts out as flood, then gets to be on the heavier side of medium and then you get a ton of carry down on the right side. Notice I said HEAVY in the front. MASSIVE carry down. There is a difference. And yes they do strip the lanes as least to my knowledge. Now will someone answer my question?

And fyi, the heavy and massive amounts of oil are relative terms to each bowler. If you look at my rev rate, it's around 250-300. For someone with a lot more hand, the lanes would obviously be "drier."
