Title: What is your best heavy oil ball?
Post by: Cranking_Inferno on February 13, 2006, 08:39:43 AM: I am looking for a strong rolling heavy oil ball... it doesn't have to be Brunswick... I just want to ball that flat out owns the oil and won't die after 30 games like my Ultimate Inferno kinda did.

looking at:

Action
Scorching Inferno

--------------------
Arsenal:

Ultimate Inferno - Heavy oil
Original Inferno - Heavy to Medium oil
Smoking Inferno - Medium to Dry
Blue Dot - Spare ball

Pretty good ball for pretty good oiled lanes, but I think a cranker doesn`t need such a ball, except that he bowls with lightspeed or the lanes are really flooded.

Post by: TeNPiNsAreEasy on February 13, 2006, 05:28:44 PM: i wuld say SEEK and DESTROY would handle the most amount of oil with a good drilling. I have one and it out hooks my sanded Paradigm by at least 10-15 boards
--------------------
I Dont have a mark juss throw the ball in an area BUT I STILL STRIKE

Post by: Nails on February 13, 2006, 05:31:48 PM: There isn't a person in the universe that has an EPX and a Super Carbide Bomb and still needs a real heavy oil ball. Either sand something to 80 grit like Dave Traber, grow some hand, or learn to bowl on something other than a medium oil house shot.

All heavy oil balls need some maintenance because of their covers and the amount of oil they absorb. Also, the Ultimate is far from a ball for soup, so I don't even know why you included it.

Post by: Mr Bass on February 13, 2006, 06:05:36 PM: Currently using a SCB for heavy oil. Have used it over 30 games and it still moves; too strong when the lanes break down. I have also thrown a Strike Zone which can handle heavy oil as well...

Post by: BowlerKidR on February 13, 2006, 06:10:32 PM: I think that the way to go is the V2 power. Strong ball for heavier lanes, early rolling, and strong at the break point.

Post by: GendouIkari on February 13, 2006, 07:08:05 PM: Hmmm I still haven't found any oil that my Sniper can't handle... And I've never used her much squared up... So my best heavy oil ball for now its my sniper... If I ever need something stronger will go with a Scorchin'

Post by: toomanytenpins on February 13, 2006, 07:32:52 PM: the oracle is a nice piece for heavy oil finishes nicely ,my only complaint is it will loose carry potential if the shot changes ,but in oil it seems to be pretty good

Post by: snowman4951 on February 13, 2006, 11:40:38 PM: My Morich Seek and Destroy goes through oil quite well. I'd also say my Total Shock and Awe handles oil well too. Both outhook my Track Gp2....I hope this is a tournament shot because, I've never seen a house shot anywhere with tons of oil. Unless, of course, the machine breaks and floods them. Or if it's a sport shot league. What kind of heavy oil shot are we talking? Flat, long flooded shot? Flooded heads with strong carrydown? There are so many balls and drillings that can match you up however, what is the shot? Do you throw fast?If you are a true cranker you shouldn't really need something that strong.

How many posts did you make about just soaking it in hot water to get its reaction back? You can't wonder about longevity and make posts like that at the same time. You also aren't allowed to complain about longevity until the ball actually dies, because before then, you don't know how long it will last.

Got to agree!! Hard to argue with the longevity of the Soaker coverstock and both of these balls work VERY well in oil. It would just depend on the shape that you are looking for, etc.

Post by: DON DRAPER on February 14, 2006, 08:31:25 PM: i'm having a hard time believing your ultimate inferno "died" after 30 games. my ultimate inferno has over 500 games on it and thanks to daily cleanings, trips thru the rejuvenator, and resurfacings/rescuffings/resandings it rolls like new.

anyway, my goliath has been wetsanded as coarse as 120 grit and as smooth as 4,000 grit. at 120 grit i couldn't find enough oil to hold this ball. 220 grit was still more than enough.

Post by: clovismaul on February 15, 2006, 10:35:20 AM: Well I like the Visionary Centaur AMB particle (the blue one)it all about roll in oil . Even more than my EPX drilled the same. As far as your Ultimate have it cleaned and the oil extracted you should clean your ball every week especially if you use it on oil...

Post by: mrbowlingnut on February 15, 2006, 01:00:36 PM: Well i picked up the new Big One last night, i must say this ball with a 4000 finish is the 2nd biggest moving ball in oil i have ever thrown. Very very strong and continous if you miss right it come back and if you miss left watch out its gone lol Ball hits very well and is early and never stops i think it would burn out at 2000 unless you were on a 1 to 1 flat pattern.
