Title: what ball...
Post by: WSUstroker on December 25, 2003, 02:12:18 AM

my mom is looking for a new ball that works well in medium-dry to medium-oily conditions.  she throws the ball about 12-14 mph with medium revs.  she tends to start around 18-22 board and sends it out to 8-10 and back (right handed).  Right now she throws a colossus pearl and it works well for her even though it rolls out almost every shot.  she wants a ball with a nice arc to the pocket.  I can get a good deal on brunswick balls and I was wondering if the time zone would work?  any suggestions?

Sounds like her ball speed is a little too low for the time zone. I'd try a Frenzy instead.

I agree on the Frenzy, if she must have Brunswick (which is not a bad thing, just a limiting condition).

I would try either storm that way she would get proper length and still have plenty of finish at breakpoint. ex. Hot Rod

If it isn't EBONITE it isn't bowling........

it doesn't have to be brunswick, but I can get the frenzy for $60 NIB but I don't remember what the storm prices are like.  the frenzy would probably work but I need to check my storm prices before I decide.  Also, I am thinking of getting an eliminator, how has that ball been for you guys?

I personally don't have an eliminator, but have the Raging inferno....It is an AWESOME ball.....

I've said it before, but here it is again..."its been a long time since I've been this happy with a new ball"

If it's gonna be Hot Rod, make sure to drill it weaker. It's much stronger than it is supposed to be.

Just my 2 cents

Compared to a colussus pearl I don't think the Time Zone would be any shorter.

On the conditions I bowl on(quite oily).  I always have to focus on getting the Time Zone to break early enough.  It is only marginally shorter than the Frenzy.

I think a better ball over all also!
