Title: Skid snap ball?
Post by: Barbarian2990 on January 04, 2010, 11:48:46 PM
Ive been looking into getting a new ball and i think this is what i need. I need a ball i can move in and open up the lanes with.Right now i have avalanche solid drilled 50-4 1/4-70 and an avalanche slide 60-4 3/4-35. I love both of these balls but when the outside burn out i cant move in to keep them on the right side and when i do leave nothing but flat 10s. The few balls i was looking into getting was the c-system or evil seige but im not to sure. i know that the evil seige isent out yet but do u think it would be good for me to wait and see or is the c-system not a ball to be missed.

My Specs:
speed-15mph
revs-225
pap 4 1/4-> 1/2^

I would say the C-System is the way to go here.  Ball has alot of continuation through the pins and handles oil very well.  Definitely more ball than the Avalanches with alot of angularity and continuation.

I guess it depends on how much more overall strength you're looking for in the new piece.

If you want the ability to make a big move left and use more of the lane, then the C-(System) 2.5 would be worth a look.

If, however, you're looking to play a similar line but get more recovery, then the Python would be worthy of consideration.

Ray hit the nail on the head. For more hook C System and to stay closer to where you are the Python will fit that bill. I would drill the Python similar to the Slide.

Just my $0.02, it sounds like you need to learn how to straighten out your shot and reduce hook. If you are using Avalanche balls and they are leaving flat tens or rolling too soon, a stronger ball like the C System will do the same but earlier and more. And a skid flip ball sounds like it would either hook too soon since it would be stronger than the Avalanches. My suggestion therefore is either to learn to straighten out your shot, or drill another avalanche line ball with a 6+" pin for more length. Again, just my thoughts...
