If you were going to buy a new ball to be slightly stronger than a Freeze but still handle medium to medium dry conditions, what would it be?  Trying to stay in the Ebonite family.

Thanks for the help.

Wouldnt that be a 505c2 omg! Get it!

The new 300C Solid

+1 on the Cyclone.  You get a ton of ball for what you pay.  A person in my league this past year had a lot of success with it. 

Another option you could look at is the Storm Frantic.  It's a great proven hybrid cover/symmetrical core match and is versatile on medium and medium-dry patterns.  You also can use it on some longer patterns as well.  Even though that is not in the EBI family, it's still worth a look.  I've had a lot of success on medium and medium-dry patterns since drilling a Frantic late last year.

Why not go with a Freeze Hybrid? 2 parts pearl, 1 part solid sounds like slightly stronger to me. Mine is great, later in the session. Not a dry lane ball, but by no means an oiler. Medium at best for me at box finish. I have not tried more surface. I want it to like some friction. I think it would handle more than medium with more surface.

Hi,

Yes I went with the pin down to get it to see the lane just a little sooner. With my style of game I tend to stay away from polished covers. But when I do get one, pin down is normally my first drilling.  But I will say I wouldn't be afraid to drill one pin up.. Ball is just to good!

I am probably about 4-5 boards left with this ball than I would be with the freeze at the arrows so nearly a arrow stronger for me.. However drilling it pin up would get it down the lane a little further allowing you to close those angles some getting to a closer line with the freeze.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
