Next Purchase
« on: September 24, 2007, 04:21:15 PM »
Hey Everybody!

I'm thinking about making a new ball purchase, because my current equipment, mainly the Storm T-Road Solid is too much ball for the conditions at my center. I am considering a Storm Sure Fire, since I have had a fair amount of success with Storm recently. I have neglected what's coming out of Brunswick. Right now, the only piece of my arsenal that's Brunswick is my T-Zone. I've been wondering what's currently out that's more of a benchmark ball, that can handle most medium conditions. I've got the revs of a stroker, and a little bit quicker ball speed. I've heard a lot about the Fury Pearl, but not sure if it matches up. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help!

If you got the T-Road Solid, why not go with the T-Road Pearl ?

I have the Sure Fire and love it. It's a bit strong in box finish where I play here in town (Sunset Station), so I'm not sure how it'll do at The Orleans since I haven't played there in a while.

By the way, I might be able to help you save some money if you buy a new ball by the end of the month. Just PM me

Drilling and surface works wonders.

Taking a T-Road Pearl to 1500 or 2000 dull and putting a "archy" drill on it.

Whats wrong with that ?



...and just so you see, he mentioned Fury Pearl in his original post...Is that a benchmark ball ?

No ...but could be with the right drill and surface.

From someone who has actually thrown a Fury Pearl, YES!  Mine is remarkably versatile, and if your speed is as you describe you'd have no problem at all.

The ball comes without polish, and I'd suggest trying it that way first.  If you need extra length, you can always add the polish later.
