Your favorite Brunswick-poured light oil ball right now?
« on: June 24, 2015, 12:13:16 AM »
There seem to be so many good options right now between Brunswick, DV8, and Radical. What are people liking for a low revs/speed stroker?

I did well with the Strike King, LT-48, and even a polished Melee, but I'm dropping down to 14 and need to get one. Other options seem to be plentiful in addition to what I already mentioned... Soul Mate, Rack Attack Pearl, Ringer Platinum Pearl.

So what do folks think?

Lt48 is noticeably stronger

And the Dude is stronger the LT.

My Rack Attack solid was stronger than I expected (good thing for me), but you were looking more toward the pearl version anyway.

I think you are on the right path leaning toward the SK. I personally like how the Emerald green looks, but that only opinion.

I ended up getting another LT-48. I just love that ball.

For a low rev/high speed stroker stay away from the Radical Score.  The Score is advertised for rev dominate/low speed and they called it right.
On the other hand the Radical Reax Gusto is a great ball for the low rev/high speed stroker.

Great ball. Glad I bought two. One on stand by undrilled with another likely to join it before it's discontinued.

Good move. Thinking about doing the same thing with the LT-48 and the Melee Jab too. Love the Melee Cross as well. The Gold rhino pro?... Not so much.

Melee Cross was more ball then I expected. Melee Jab I haven't tried. It is on the list if I catch a good deal on it. From what I have seen it is very similar to the Lt48. I change surface as needed with any ball so I figured if I do not get a Jab the LT48 is still close enough. lol

I have to disagree. The jab is much stronger than the Lt-48 in every aspect of the lane. I have them both and even though the lt-48 is great when they start to get burned, the jab won't miss the spot down lane when there is a little more oil.

Spot on. Way more ball. Both are great, but they are competent different animals.

The Jab is very angular for me. I would say that it can compete side by side on the backend with any ball out of the Utah plant.  So to me that's saying a lot.

Agree.  The Jab and the LT48 are from different planets. Both great balls but not even close.

The Jab recovers from anywhere without being "snappy".  It also handles more volume as well.  With a touch of surface, it's extremely strong.
