Seige or Virtual Gravity
« on: October 28, 2009, 02:13:28 AM »
Hi All, new to the forums but appreciate all the good information here. As the title suggests Im considering a new ball.I'm new to bowling with a finger tip ball and one that hooks. about 3 months ago I purchased a Momentum Swing.After some research on teh columbia site I found it had been drilled about as unagressive as recommended.Said it was good for dry to med lanes.On three occassion I have found this out first hand.Seems whenever I run in to freshly oiled or heavily oiled lanes I cant get the ball to hook to save my life.I try outside, inside and gutter to gutter no luck.So Im looking for a ball for oil. I am currently more of a "stroker", med revs, med track and high 17's low 18's mph.Your thoughts and /or suggestins about the two balls mentioned?Am I missing anything?

VG comes 2000 abralon and Siege comes 1000.  I can play similar areas of the lane with both balls, but the look is quite a bit different.  VG has been a great ball for me as I move deeper into heavier oil when the track opens up.  Haven't thrown the Siege in competition yet, or on anything but house shots.




Virtual Gravity is at a 4000 A- pad OOB...

to be precise the VG is 360/500/4000.

I also believe it is one of those Rogue Cell/Jigsaw types of 500/4000 finishes.

I just recently picked up a Siege so I'll give my two cents here.  As Tizzle said, the siege will be earlier and smoother on the backend. The VG goes longer and has a much stronger backend motion. Each ball has it's place. It really depends on the reaction you are looking for.
