The "pre-purchase a ball" exercise: Brunswick...
« on: August 08, 2007, 03:46:46 AM »
Well, it is like this... you're going to compete in a tournament (THS, sometimes with an oob area to make it more difficult) and you are allowed to play with one and only one of the next balls, what would you choose and how would you drill it? (you can surface prepare it as you wish and no more options because this is what my local shop has right now):

Total Inferno
Red Zone
Blast Zone

Thank you for your collaboration.

I've had my Blast Zone about a month, and I'd try it.  The others are great, too, but the Blast rules.

IMHO,
 Total Inferno drilled with your comfortable drilling that you use for a benchmark---readable with a clean backend so you get no surprise jump through the nose,yet enough to kick out the ten(or seven if you're a lefty).
 Surface prep---having seen it thrown on a THS by the pro shop guy,I'd suggest 1000 grit.That'll give you length through the heads,yet still get to the pocket.Also,it'll pick up a little oil depending on the number of games throwm,which will give you added control throughout the day.

I would pick the red zone. Mostly because it is a medium oil ball. U have room to go either way. If your playing on oil, u can dull it down, if u not, u can bring it to 4000 with some polish. Its pretty versitile. I would drill it with a smooth motion, not snappy, and not too rolly, just in the middle, this might be the all purpose drill i'm not sure though.
