New arsenal help
« on: May 21, 2014, 09:16:29 PM »
Hi,

I've not used DV8 gear before but am looking at finally updating my arsenal in a few months and I'm trying to work out how to fill out this arsenal.

I'm between 16-17mph and on the lower end of revs. I'm normal a down and in bowler standing about 15 and chucking about 10. Left handed also.

I'm currently using a pin up Virtual Gravity at 4000 and a pin down polished Paradigm. Using a Brunswick Black Urethane Twister as my spare ball, not looking to replace it.

I normally bowl a fresh THS which I find the Virtual is a bit under and I need to throw further out with the Paradigm to get it back to the pocket to strike. On broken down lanes the Virtual is awesome moves strong and hits really hard.

I'd like to start adventuring outside my normal league and bowling a few tournaments hope fully some sport ones even.

I know I want to get:

Ruckus Feud
Diva Pearl
Dude

What I don't know is what I should get for a 4th. Either something between the Feud and Diva/Dude like a:
Ruckus
Brutal Nightmare
Nightmare
Mastermind Genius
Meanstreak Brawler
Melee

Or something below them like a Vintage LT-48.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The 3 you have listed as what you want to get are a good start for an arsenal. I would suggest the Brutal Nightmare, Meanstreak Brawler, or Mastermind Genius as a fit between the Ruckus Feud and the Diva Pearl. All 3 of them have hybrid coverstocks and take well to surface changes. If you are looking for something weaker, then I would go with a Misfit, Strike King, or an LT-48. The Melee and the Dude would have a similar reaction.

I would throw in a hybrid like the mastermind Genius.  Look at the radical line too they are awesome!  you could get like the radical yeti unleashed.  Below the dude I would get the Grease monkey or the misfit pearl.

Thanks guys for the feedback, I liked the look of the Mastermind Genius just wasn't sure if it would suit the arsenal I was looking at.

I'll probably end up picking between the MM Genius/Meanstreak Brawler/Brutal Nightmare/Yeti Unleashed

Thanks again.
