OK, I have a Thing. Good ball, used it in team in State last year, and all 9 games in nationals. Works for me on medium to medium oily. 4 x 4 drilling. I can't find a place for it in league very often this year. THS, very dry outside, heavy in the middle.
I am considering a Thing Lives. Assume same 4 x 4 drilling, how does the Thing compare with the Thing Lives? Is the TL a LOT stronger, or a little. More mid - lane or back end. Can I play more in the oil or still have to play down the oil line (around 8 - 10)? My Thing handles carrydown well. How about the TL? I've read the reviews, but they are sometimes contradictory and don't do comparisons between balls.
By the way, if Jim Ensminger sees this, I mostly bowl at AMF Showplace Euless, which I am sure he is familiar with. Also, Ron Williams drills balls for me.
