what do you guys think.. Rattler or slingshot to compliment my Diamondback and T zone.. Looking for something that will go through the midlane well after things start breaking down no matter what the conditions are.. i rolled 4 games on dry lanes with my DB and couldnt find my mark for s#it, ended up hitting hi nomatter where i went on the lane, Rolled a 174, 120, 154, 237.. Can you guess which ame I threw my T zone??

Diamond back PAP 3 3/4 right x 3/4 down

5 1/2 x 3 1/2

The 3.5 is stronger and handles a higher volume of oil than the 2.5.

as far as reaction are the 2.5 and 3.5 the same tho? and how does the siege fit in there.. I havent thrown either of these so its tough to tell just off videos

MJ, The 2.5 and 3.5 do have a slightly simliar motion. The 3.5 does have more midlane and a little more pop off the spot. The 3.5 will also handle oil better than the 2.5. A good comparison would be somebody starting with the 3.5 on like Shark or Scorpion patterns and when they begin to burn you could go to the 2.5 for less hook. I have the 2.5 about 6 boards less than my 3.5.
Now the Siege handles oil very well and has more of the motion like your Diamonback. It has a smoother transition from the oil to the dry. If you were bowling on a heavier longer pattern you could start with the Siege and keep your angles tighter. Once that spot starts to burn you could then go to a 3.5 and send it to the burn spot for more anle down lane. Then when that starts to hook to much you could then switch to the 2.5 and use this for less hook.
The Siege and 3.5 to me handle the heavier volumes about the same just the 3.5 just turns a little harder down lane. Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you more.

No i got it

Sounds good man, Like I was saying I just want to have a good spot for my DB in the mix, and if I got a siege or a c system, didnt want it to take place of the DB.. But also did want to get a drier oil ball to fit in the mix there as well..

MJ I was thinking of the slingshot but then i heard something about avalnch urethane that is coming out?! i'm not sure if its true. if it might get a urethane over the sling shot. but it all depends. might go for the slingshot.

This is beginning to be an expensive hobby/sport. I see myself in the next 2 years probably buying another 5-6 balls easily so I'm gonna eventually have more than I need. Do you guys sell them on eBay or to a pro shop or do you just end up keeping them for a collection
