Full Swing or Total Bedlam
« on: May 14, 2010, 01:29:42 PM »
If you had to decide between the Full Swing and the Total Bedlam as your oil ball, which one would choose?

Total Bedlam probably handles it better.  Once I punch my FS I'll will be able to confirm that.

I would probably go with the TB as an oiler, but the FS is definitely more versatile in my opinion.

FULL SWING!!! I had both drilled identically and the TB hooked less than my freeze. Sold it to another guy who was interested in it as his oil ball too and he said it hardly looked for him too. Full Swing is worth the extra money i think.

Thanks guys.  I'm may be wrong, but it seems to me that most of the pros that I've  seen on TV (those who use Columbia) are throwing the FS and not the TB on oily conditions.

In my opinion, the Total Bedlam can handle the fresh patterns a little bit better than the Full Swing. Full Swing is an awesome ball, don't get me wrong, but I think the Total Bedlam is better suited for the heavier conditions.

My friends TB doesn''t really well for him either.  My Total works very well for me. Out of the box, it finishes five boards stronger than my T-Road Solid in the soup.  Where the TRS quits, the Total keeps on going.  I brought the surface down and it starts up even earlier and still keeps on driving.  This is how it flared on a pair of lanes that had the nats pattern and route 66 on top of it.  I took a pic of it before the oil absorbed into the ball.

The pattern was fresh on my side since I am on the left.

I don''t really recall anyone using the FS except Scroggins.  Barnes tried to use his TB at the ToC but I think he gave that up pretty fast.

If you don''t want a hockey stick reaction you could look for the track 930T and use it as an oiler.  They are being closed out right now and you can probably get one for under $100 plus shipping.

Yeah you see them throwing the Full Swing on the show after they''ve spent an hour breaking down the pattern in practice with a Total Bedlam.

Total bedlam hands down.

Words of advise. Limiting your self to just one company is never smart. Get proven balls out on the market. Global, Storm inc, Ebonite international, er what ever it may be.
