ok what am i missing?
« on: November 22, 2009, 06:21:28 AM »
got a copperhead with control drill, ultra zone drilled with a strong arc, looking for a third wheel to go along with i already have. im seeing alot more oil this year which in turn has caused me to slow down my speed considering im stroker as is. well i throw 14mph, low revs, like to play down in or a little banana hook best way to describe it. I'm thinking for heavy oil siege,wildthing wildcard,diamondback? just guessing not sure. something for light oil maybe python or avalanche slide? all help appreciated. i know could consider copperhead plug and re-drill for the heavy oil. i like the drilling on the ball.

I'd leave the Copperhead how it is as a control drill and let the cover dictate how the ball reacts to the lane since it is a symmetric core.  If you want something different for heavy oil I would go with the Siege as you can tweak the reaction a lot with different drillings.  I would pick up an anvalanche or avalanche slide for lighter oil also.  I've heard good things about the new avalanche.

There's plenty of room for a ball under the Ultra Zone.  If you feel like you only need a small step down go with the Python, feel like you need a dry lane ball get an Avalanche Pearl.  Being low rev and normally playing down and in you don't need a whole lot of help getting a ball not to hook.  For a ball stronger than the Copperhead, I'd go for either the Wild Card or Siege.  I say just pick the core you prefer, symmetrical or assymetrical.
