Title: Thinking of buying a Twisted Fury
Post by: ye3hawp0ny on June 16, 2008, 06:19:17 AM
Im looking for a ball for fresh PBA oil conditions that I bowl in and I was either thinking of getting the Twisted Fury or the new Copperhead that will be out next week. Is the Twisted Fury a good heavy oil ball? I already have the Fury Pearl and use that, so I was wondering if I would be able to use the Twisted for to start with, and then the pearl as the lanes start to break down. And Buddies is running a sale with them too. which ball would u recommend?

I wouldn't recommend the Twisted for heavy oil.  I think the Ultra Zone or new Copperhead would be a better fit on that type of condition.

Give www.bowlingballdiscounts.com a try.  They have great prices, free shipping (same day shipping on most orders)

Twisted isn't that great on the fresh PBA patterns.
I'd definitely go with the Copperhead for something like that.

I agree with JMORRIS. You would be better off with either a Ultra Zone, Blast Zone, or Copperhead.

You can pick up Red Zone really cheap. Sand one down to about 800 grit and you got youeself a real nice medium heavy condition ball.

I agree with the others that the Ultra Zone is a good choice for heavier oil. Save the Twisted Fury for medium oil. It is a monster on medium oil, for me anyhow.

Depends on whether you want length or recovery. Depends on your speed and rev rate. I like my red zone on just about every pba pattern except the shark, a blast zone handles it a lot better.

I’ve heard nothing but good things from everyone about the Red Zone that I recently bit the bullet and bought two (drilled one).

Haven’t tried it yet, but my driller, my ex-driller, and a few others here love it. I remember BrunsNick saying that whenever he can’t score on pba pattern, he always goes back to his Red Zone and Zone Classic.

I love my Classic and Inferno, so I have no doubt I will love my Red Zone.

*Sorry for hijack.

As others have said, Twisted Pearl is not a heavy oil ball.

Twisted Fury Solid is announced (release unknown yet), which sounds a lot more suitable for oilier shots than the TFP - even though I do not think that it is a real soup ball like the (discontinued) Mammoth. But a better option, anyway.

C-Head is also a piece you will hardly make anything wrong with - low RG, sanded PK18 shell, good price. Anything you might ask for.
