House Shot League Arsenal....Opinions
« on: February 02, 2009, 01:06:23 PM »
I have been doing a lot of thinking here lately about setting up a 4 ball arsenal (plus plastic) for league next year and I think I have come up with a great experiment.

I am going to take 4 of the same ball (a budget ball actually) with various pin distances and layouts.

My thoughts are to take 4 mild cored, solid resin covered balls like Purple/ Black Power Grooves or Red/Black Bashes, blue/green Jazz's or similar with these layouts.....

#1....5-1/2 x 5 pin high
#2....4x4 stacked
#3....2x4
#4....5x4 pin under

What are your thoughts on layouts and surface prep? See my profile for personal stats and normal house conditions.

Besides I'd love to spank some guys in league that belong to the "buy the ball of the month but have no clue how to throw it" club using what is typically classified as a kids or woman's ball :-)


If you really want to spank them, use a WD or Maxim and whup them the old fashioned way.  --  JohnP

The only problem with using Vibes is the pearl covers....solids are a bit more versatile...now if the Blue Viber were still in production

Yeah x holes will be needed in layouts #2, 3 and 4 most likely.

Yes chitown I had figured on using budget type balls....in fact our house conditions lend themselves to the "budget" balls better than high performance stuff. I was seriously considering the red/ black Bash or the Purple/Black PowerGroove, Jazz, Tropical Storm or Street Rod.

I agree that a lot of solids tend to be a little more versatile but that's not the case with the Blue Vibe.  The Blue Vibe is one of the most versatile bowling balls i've ever owned.

If i'm not mistaking the Blue Vibe is not considered a pearl even though it's polished.  If I rememeber correctly the BV uses the cut throat coverstock and is not peralized.
