I need a heavy oil(fresh oil) ball and a dry lane(toasted??) ball. What ball could you recommend?? I am looking for a ball which has a snapping backend... thanks!!
-
Heavy Oil either go with an Action or Action Max
Light Oil Jinx
-
Go with the Power Drive Sanded. It will give you more of the reaction you want then the Action or the Action Max.....
-
power drive sanded?? is it suited for the heavy oil?? how about the big shot?? regarding my dry lane oil ball, is the jynx weaker than the dr. jekyll?? when the two are compared??
-
Action Max for heavy oil
Jinx, Dr. Jekyll, or Scout for dry.
Dr. Jekyll is slightly weaker than the Jinx according to Columbia's ratings.
-
ok... how about the heavy oil ball?? whats the difference between an attack?a max?? a big shot??
-
The Big Shot would give you a better overall look on a medium-heavy shot rather than a true heavy oil shot. Of course that also depends on how much hand you have, your speed, and the drilling and or surface you keep the ball at.

Forget the Action Max. I've only seen mediocore results out of that ball unless there was a true flood of oil. I've seen heavier handed guys be able to play straighter in oil with that ball while it was polished, but even then it was too grabby/too early in the transitioning phases of heavier oil.
The Original Action is hands down one of the best oil balls Columbia ever made. It's early revving yet still strong of the break. The cover is very tweakable and can cover anything from Mediums and up. This way you still have your heavy oil ball, and you still have a versatile option in longer mediums when your other equipment isn't giving you the look you desire.
In the light oil/dry slot, I would go with the High Flare Urethane with alot of polish on it. This way, even on a dry shot you still have an arcing, controllable reaction and not something that's going to react violently like the Reactive Scouts once they encounter friction.
Now if you want some "Real Options" LOL, send me a PM, unless you're hellbent on purchasing Columbia to fit these spots.

Big Shot pin down below finger line cg 45 degrees and low x-hole at 1000, Wrath SF pin above finger line and cg stacked 5 x 5 factory finish.
