Title: need help with ball selection
Post by: sg18091 on March 19, 2009, 08:40:46 AM: I throw about 14.5-15.0 mph and 275-300 rev rate. I bowl two nights a week on two different house shots.

One is medium heavy oil about 38' with cleaner issues sometimes the backends are flying sometimes they are dirty where your ball goes no where on the backend

One is medium oil about 41' with snappy backends. This house is old wood and the head oil goes away very fast!

Right now I have a storm gravity shift and storm spitfire. A lot of my friends throw columbia, so I want to give them a try. So my question is which two-three balls would be best to get me through these two league nights. thanks

Post by: agroves on March 20, 2009, 08:30:57 PM: House #1
Momentum Swing
Noize with less surface

House #2
Noize/Momentum Swing/Power Swing--surface to control the backends

Then, I'd throw a original Momentum or shiny perfect rival to step down to.

I will try, at least from my perspective:

Momentum Swing: easy through the heads and a continous movement from about 40 feet through the pocket.

Power Swing: Gets through the heads as easy as the Momentum Swing checks up a little earlier and it too is a continuos move through the pin deck

Perfect Rival ( for me better off shined than original surface) Love the ease of getting this ball through the heads, and the movement left once it found friction was what I was looking for

All in all a great 3 ball arsenal

Post by: agroves on March 22, 2009, 06:11:31 PM: I pretty much agree with justdale. I've been throwing the Momentum Swing, which reads the midlane well and has a very nice standup arc on the backend.

My coach/friend has a Power swing, it checks up earlier and is a bit more aggressive on the backend.

I drilled my wife a Perfect Rival. That ball hooks a ton in box condition. We tried it at 2000 abralon in an attempt to smooth out the yank down lane. It didn't work, so she asked me to shine it. We'll see how it goes from here.....
