NEED A LITTLE HELP
« on: April 14, 2006, 03:59:46 PM »
HEY ALL, NEED SOME HELP WITH NEW BALL SELECTION. IM LOOKING FOR A HEAVY OIL BALL, THAT CAN HANDLE HEAVY CARRY-DOWN CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY THINKING ABOUT, HAMMER HAWG, TRACK RULE GP2, ROTO-GRIP EPIC BATTLE, COLUMBIA EPX-T1, STORM PASSION AND A FEW OTHERS.

IM A TWEENER, 18-19 MPH, AROUND 300-350 RPM, SEMI-ROLLER. CURRENTLY STAND AT ABOUT 15, THROW OUT TO ABOUT 10 AT THE BREAK-POINT, BUT HAVE TO PLAY STAIGHTER WHEN CARRY-DOWN IS EXTREME.

LOOKING FOR A BALL THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO OPEN UP THE LANE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND NOT SKID DOWN THE LANE WHEN CARRY-DOWN IS EXTREME. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE A STRONG MID-LANE TRANSITION, BUT WONT BURN UP.

CURRENTLY USING:

COLUMBIA ACTION- AWESOME BALL, GREAT FOR MEDIUM-HEAVY, CAN HANDLE LIGHT CARRY-DOWN, BUT SKIDS TOO MUCH WHEN BACK-ENDS ARE SOAKED.

TROPICAL STORM- DRILLED FOR LENGTH, USE ON LIGHT CONDITIONS AND FOR SPARES.

STORM SUPER CHARGE- DONT USE MUCH SINCE BUYING THE ACTION, BUT STILL A GREAT MEDIUM OIL BALL.

DRILLING SUGGESTONS AND OTHER BALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

With the comments from Duke Harding and Sir bowl-alot I would suggest the EPX.  IF you do choose the EPX drill it as stated in the sheet that comes with it.  Also the hot water bath treatments.
