NEW BALL FOR CARRYDOWN
« on: May 28, 2006, 10:50:48 AM »
I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW BALL TO FIT IN ARSENAL. ALL 15LB 3OZ

CURRENTLY HAVE ACTION- OIL DRILLED LIKE BRUSWICK 1 E
               DETOUR- MEDIUM OIL LIKE BRUNSWICK 1 E
               FLIPSIDE
               PANIC - DRYER LANES LIKE BRUNSWICK 2L (ALSO USE THIS FOR SPARE BALL NOW.)

I USED THE ACTION ON HEAVY OIL FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT AND REALLY LIKE IT. WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT BEFORE IT WAS TOO MEDIUM OF CONDITIONS AND DETOUR ALWAYS PLAYED BETTER. LAST NIGHT WE HAD FRESH SYNTHETIC LANES AND PANIC AND DETOUR WOULD NOT HOOK. AFTER LEARNING HOW TO RELEASE THE BALL, CUTTING SPEED, LOADING WRIST MORE, AND STARTING WITH LOW BALL POSITION I HAD 209 AND 201 LAST TWO GAMES. THE BALL WORKED GREAT ON THIS CONDITION, BETTER THAN MY BOWLING ABILITY.

DETOUR WORKS GREAT FOR ME ON MEDIUM OIL, BUT WHEN THE LANES BREAK DOWN IT STARTS HOOKING TOO EARLY.  I WOULD LIKE TO GET A BALL WITH THE BACKEND REACTION OF THE DETOUR, BUT SOMETHING THAT GOES DOWN THE LANE A LITTLE FARTHER AND HANDLES CARRYDOWN BETTER. I LIKE TO PLAY DOWN AND IN 1ST ARROW OR BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND.

THE FLIPSIDE PANIC WORKS GOOD FOR ME THE TWO HOUSES WITH SYTHETIC LANES WHEN THEY REALLY BREAKDOWN. IT GOES LONG AND HAS A LOT OF BACKEND. BUT ON DRY WOOD LANES IT LEAVES HORRIBLE SPLITS AND DOESN'T CARRY WELL. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHY?

I AM LOOKING FOR A BALL TO FIT BETWEEN DETOUR AND FLIPSIDE PANIC, THINKING ABOUT THE U TURN PARTICLE PEARL.  

ON HEAVY OIL THE ACTION WORKS GOOD FOR ME. I HAVE TOO MUCH SPEED TO USE DETOUR ON HEAVY OIL. BUT ON LANES THAT ARE BREAKING DOWN THE DETOUR HOOKS TOO MUCH TOO EARLY. I THOUGHT EVEN ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER DETOUR AND POLISHING IT OR MAYBE DRILLING IT LESS AGGRESSIVELY BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL DO THE JOB. THE SUPERFLEX COVER STOCK REALLY SEEMS TO JUMP ON THE DRY. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

basic question is:

I would like some opinions on a ball to fit between a detour  that is drilled aggressively and a flipside panic that is drilled to go longer.

I would like a ball to handle carrydown that I can play down and in, if that is possible, and was looking at a U turn particle pearl.  But I would consider a non columbia suggestion also.
