Title: Ball Suggestion
Post by: ElSkippy3o42 on February 25, 2007, 02:12:47 PM: I need a ball for dry lanes, now i'm talking DRY, sorta like a desert. I was thinking a Tornado, anyone else got any suggestions. AND no I will not throw my spare ball. Also suggest a layout for me, my axis cordinates are 4 1/2 by 1 1/2 up. I already have a Black Ice (pin under ring) and Crossfire (pin over middle. I'd prefer an Ebonite ball, thus the reason I put it in the Ebonite forum, but I am open to suggestions.

I am total high revs so a layout like this might work well for you. I have no idea on specifics other than the reaction he told me i could expect. But who needs a ball like that?!?!?!

Roto Grip Neptune (low differential core wrapped in a nice pearl cover, great hit too)

or for really dry --

Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle

Post by: Grayson on February 26, 2007, 04:31:52 AM: Lane#1 XXXL my recommandation!

The ball is plastic for real dry but with a good core you can be drilled in different ways...

I play it and it works...

Other balls I cannot suggest..

And why am I writting in an Ebonite forum?

Cause I playen a "tornado warning" and the ball will hook... but it has less hit'n'carry than the XXXL...
