Title: Raging red fuze
Post by: xwenhan on August 10, 2005, 08:32:27 PM

Hi all, could anyone tell me about how i can drill up the raging red fuze for drier conditions on wood lanes and if it carries the 10s and 7s well because i am not a really good spare shooter.Or will a zone classic be better?
My specifications:
High revs
cranker
slow speed
--------------------

I use:
Red Alert Special Edition
Original Inferno
Absolute Inferno
Target Zone

If you have a NIB, don't drill it!  Those things are only going up in value.  You can get a newer ball that will do the same thing.

Everything inverted said and, all balls carry corners pins well if you have proper roll/entry angle.  Not trying to be mean but that is one of the most ignorant questions you can ask does a certain ball carry 10's and 7's well.

hmmm...

Maybe your money should be spent on practice instead of new balls.  But what do I know?

for this ball to work on drier lanes you'll need about 25mph ball speed or loft ala mika---there are better balls from brunswick for drier lanes.

I more or less agree with all of you but the monster slay/r does not really interest me because i don't really like the reaction. But i have yet to see a Zone Classic red pin in singapore before.Anything else i can try???(punisher was way too strong, not 7/10 times cross pocket_)

Punisher was too strong, ....Well Red Fuze is a lot stronger.

Okay... the sparing part is better. Yesterday i was bowling 4 my school and sparing 7 and 10 was much better...The punisher was weak drilling. no flair hole nothing.Actually it was the punisher's backend that was super snappy that made me miss the pocket...

The Red Fuze is NOT a dry lanes' ball! Even if you drill it weak (e.g. Brunswick's pattren 3L or so), I would not recoimmend the ball on dry wood beacuse it surely will burn out. It is almost as strong as an OI or a ZC, even "rollier".

Even if you get one with a weak drill, watch out for 10's and 7's for the Red Fuze can deleop a very steep entry angle. You should really play it straight down, with only a little hand to it.

Additionally, a ZC would not be a much better choice. A bit, maybe , but there are much better balls out there for your style and the lanes you play.

Consider a Punisher, maybe a Rampage, or a Bionic Zone 1 if you can get one. A ZC Red Pin copuld also be an option. Being a cranker, you could even consider a Power Groove! Brunswick currently has, IMHO, an arsenal gap in this condition window.
Other older balls I'd suggest are the Fuze Igniter, Command Zone Arc, a Monster Frenzy, the Green/Black and Red/Black Monster, or maybe even a Purple Pearl Fuze or a Blazing Inferno. Some people get along well with the Monster SlayR on dry lanes, others hate it.

A light scuffing of punisher could make hook more controllable and less backend.

A second option is applying delayed reaction from Track which gives both length and seems to reduce backend on a lot of my stuff.

Also a weighthole on pap can really smooth out a backend.  Start small.

So a combo idea is Delayed reaction from track for length and less backend combined with if you still need it a small weighthole on pap.
