Help me build my new arsenal
« on: June 25, 2015, 04:54:54 PM »
Okay I know I've been posting a lot in this forum but I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new balls and I've been going back and forth on what to get.  And thanks for all the responses in my other threads- you have helped me think about what to get.

I'm dropping from 15 to 14 and I'm looking at building a simple 2-3 ball arsenal based on Brunswick cores I've had success with.  For me, the core in the LT-48 and the Melee both worked very, very well.

About me:  I bowl mostly on THS.  Lower revs/speed stroker.  My "a" game is down the twig but I can get inside and hook the ball if I have a ball that will turn the corner. 

So here is what I'm thinking:

Gold Rhino Pro, LT-48 and T-Zone Candy Apple Red

OR

Melee Jab, Melee Cross, and OG Melee

Any opinions are appreciated!

Melee Cross

Melee Jab (a few boards weaker than Cross)

Gold Rhino ( a few weaker than Jab) for me.  VERY clean.  On the volumes I usually see I don't have as much miss room until they break down vs. my Jab at 2000-3000.

of all the balls you listed the melee cross for me is the strongest of them all.  the Gold Rhino is good just make sure there is friction.  Some of the centers my way have alot of volume so my gold rhino doesnt see much action in leagues.  I'm big on the LT48 as I have 6 of them and I never think you can go wrong with an LT48.  My Jab is great, very clean and very angular down lane as apposed to my cross that is sooner and smoother for me.

For a THS I would suggest:

Melee Cross, strongest ball
Melee Jab, medium Ball
LT-48 or Gold Rhino Pro, when you need something that will get through the front
