Title: Need Suggestions on a Med to Dry Lane Ball
Post by: Tyrone_Ongpauco on January 21, 2004, 10:32:46 PM

As the subject states...which is the better ball?

Jeckyll
Wicked B/R/T
Messenger Ti Pearl - b/s/p

any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Depending on your definition of med/dry, I like the Jekyll.  Don't forget about the Beast/Beast Pearl or the Wild if you think these balls would be too much.  The Wicked b/r/t would be too much ball.

This chart gives you some numbers to look at.  The Wicked b/r/t's hook is listed as 9 units more than even the Ti Mess Pearl, so I skipped it.

The B/S/P was a monster for me.   Would not say a dry lane ball on that Puppy.

You can ask Purvis when he returns from the High Roller.  I think he would recommend a Hot Rod or Hot Wire for drying conditions.  I would recommend the new Sonic Boom.  All are not for dry, but for medium or medium light oil.

I currently us a Scout Reactive, and for the price cannot beat this ball.  Does very well in light oil to dry lane conditions.

Dry lane ball is definately going to be more like a beast or maybe the Spirit II if you can find them available still.

Thanks guys. I'm currently rebuilding my arsenal and I have a asian release Lightning Flash II which I use for toast. Good through the heads, but when it hits carrydown, it really wants to slide. The stronger ball I have is a Reaction Rip which is drilled 105deg, but this thing is too much ball on those conditions. I just need a ball to fit between these two.

Would a Jeckyll or a Hotwire be too much ball?
