But I do like the hit, and feel like it's a quality ball.  I just recently realized that I'm a speed dominant player, and I benefit much more from lower RG cores.  I'm too often throwing the Sniper past the proper breakpoint, and not really getting it into a good roll.  I don't blame the ball, I blame the operator!

But anyway, maybe I could get a recommendation for a low RG DT piece to replace the Sniper?  I have a trade post up now, and am open to suggestions!

Why don't you use your V2 Power when your Sniper "squirts"??

Sound like your fit might be the problem with your Sniper.Or perhaps you need to tweak the surface with say a Green scotch brite(600 grit)to get the ball into a roll sooner.

I did not match up with my sniper either.  Not sure what it was I didnt match up since I love my black vendetta.  Guessing cover and drilling didnt match up well.  Sometimes It just happens that way.

Average jumped 10 pins since the change to Dyno-Thane.  Why not use it?

I was having a hard time liking my ZR40 until last night.  Hadn't relly found a condition/line that would let me score well, but finally did.  

Sometimes we just try to make a ball play the wrong line for the condition.  Not saying that's what you're doing, but I started stringing strikes and went  "OH!!! this is why people like this ball!" I'm sure the Sniper would work well for you on some patern with some line, but it might not happen on your home lane.  I'd give it a little more time/expirementation...Don't try to make a ball play a certain way.  There is always a good scoring line on most house shots, the trick is finding which balls play which areas better for maximum scoring.

I have been able to score well on a variety of conditions with my Pure Energy and my High Energy both polished and OOB.  If you really want another ball I would consider both of those.  They both cover about the same amount of boards on most conditions (Pure just a couple more) and I've never thrown either past break point except when the High was polished.

Anyways good luck...I'm in the same boat average-wise as you are, but feel like I should be around 200 every night.  I averaged over 200 thru January and beginning of Feb, but when into a mini funk where I kept pulling and trying to tweak everything on my approach instead of just throwing the ball.  I finally got out and chucked a 638 with a 255 the first game (with an open and 10 X's).

On another note, anyone have any info on the Cure?  Someone is dumping a used one I'm thinking of biting on.

Any recommendations for lower RG Dynothanes?

How about the new Vendetta Magnum 2.46 rg new cover ( more agressive resin) same diff as the Vendetta line. Shipping end of month.
