Title: Mid-Priced Oiler
Post by: Gazoo on October 20, 2005, 06:02:02 AM

Which one of the following balls can handle a heavier volume of oil?
UTurn Particle
Shock
Don't see heavier oil very often, but want something in the bag to when I do!

Either one.  Might as well go with the U-Turn Particle for some true oil.  The Shock can handle oil, but it's smooth enough to fit into the medium range of oils.

For the price you may want to think about a Goliath..

Best oil ball for the buck

I've found that the RESET button is the easiest way to knock down ten pins.

I'd heard the shock was Columbia's earliest starting ball of the last couple of years.

I personally don't use that theory for flat oil but for oil inside and dry outside then i loop.

Don't know if this ball has backend on wet backs though.

I have a friend on here that swears by the Ti Messenger friction NO matter how much oil.  Seeing early start AND backend.

I have had good success on very wet patterns pointing with an Icon 2 which I can also loop in league!  Mucho backendo!!

Uturn Particle like the Formula is suppossed to be great for wet dry!  Pretty smooth backend if you like that on heavy oil.

REgards,
