Help me fill my last spot in my bag!
« on: June 10, 2004, 02:33:45 PM »
-Full Throttle (heavy/medium heavy)
-Detour (medium)
-??? (medium light/light)

I'm currently looking at the Wired as a possible medium light oil ball, or maybe a Formula? Granted, I don't see much of light oil conditions, so something like a Wild is out of the question I think. Post any suggestions. It doesn't have to be a Columbia ball. Thanks.

How about going back a generation for your medium-light ball? I have a 15# 3" pin undrilled Reaction Rip sitting in my garage that I'm never going to drill. I will ship it anywhere in the lower 48 for $75.
Drill it around 6x5 and you have a great step-down ball from the Full Throttle / Detour arsenal that you are currently using. I haven't thrown any of the newer Columbia stuff, but I noticed you had a Wicked BRT listed in your profile. Back when I threw exclusively Columbia, I had both a Wicked BRT and a Reaction Rip, and the Rip was my step-down ball from the BRT. It was cleaner through the heads when the shot started to go, and it had a real good recovery and hit.

What's going to be in the Flipside Fear and Panic? What coverstocks and cores?

The great one

If you want to know the cores and covers, refer to this post:

But for your ball, I too would reccomend the Super Trooper

Wow, an overwhelming recommendation for the Super Trooper. I've yet to see one being used at the lanes where I play so I might wait a month or two for the Panic and the Fear and see how they are rated.
