Just got one...second drill. Modified RICO.
Averaging 235 with it for the first 8 games. Feel like I have the entire building. Only at the end of the first 6 game block did I feel i had chased it too far to the inside and did not have enough to get it off the spot aggressively enough to carry...perhaps it is just because I am old...
Games of 246,257,262,233,215,181,257,228...
Great bowling!
"It's the Indian, not the arrow."
It's the bowler, not the ball.
Wish I could buy a couple more and go with some additional drillings...
Which leaves me asking the following?
Why does it seem Ebonite only puts out solids and hybrids and Columbia only puts out hybrids and pearls anymore? Maybe it is just me....Why not a complete line within each manufacturer?
Must make too much sense, I guess....
The "lines" are complete, because
"You don't buy a ball; you buy a ball reaction."
These days solids CAN react like we used to think only pearls could react.
Pearls CAN react just like we think only solids could react.
Hybrids can be like either one.
More depends on the core/coverstock combination than whether the cover is solid or a pearl. And much more depends on the surface.
You seem to be an excellent bowler already. I think you'd be better off if you learn to have more confidence in yourself and not in the ball type. Understand the basic reaction designed into the ball and buy what suits your game and the conditions you face.
Think of a ball as a black box, not knowing what's inside or how it's wrapped. Like any "gift", it's not how it's wrapped that's important; it's what it does and how well that decides how much we like it.
