LOL
I'm thinking about punching two of these up, one low pin 5" from axis, one high pin 5" from axis with two different x-holes and surfaces. I remember having a Nemesis about 2 years ago with the pin high 5" and it killed on house patterns and my first time out on PBA Pattern E/Cheetah. I actually came in 3rd in a Regional win-a-spot tournament with that ball and I loved the banana roll to it.
Usually with balls with this much built in roll and my higher speed/softer hand I end up loving it on the shorter stuff and the wet-dry since it enables me to slow down the change of direction. But I was wondering how anyone is fairing with the Wizard on longer patterns. After bowling on the Scorpion and Shark for the past 8 weeks in league I am suffering on getting the ball to read early enough and still finish in this place(it doesn't help that the backends always play tight). Is anyone finding the Wizard to be "enough ball" for these tour patterns or longer patterns in general? I don't want to take a huge gamble and drill one or two up to combat these then find out it's not a good matchup then end up selling them for next to nothing. Or would the most logical step be to go to a core with more torque(Zone/Infernos)?
The reviews on the Wizard while limited were very informative but I want some current user feedback/suggestions.
Thanks.
