Ball to fit between Raid / Anger?
« on: January 14, 2008, 03:04:29 PM »
Am very happy with the "Raid"'s trajectory (on House shot of medium to medium-heavy oil), but throw approximately 18-20mph with relatively low rev's and it's not very effective for me until sometime into the 2nd game of league. Thought of having the surface changed for an earlier roll in the 1st game, but then I might be sacrificing the great matchup it gives me in the 2nd and 3rd games.

So, I bought an "Anger", and it's great in the 1st game, but even polished I usually have to put it away after that, as I tend to send it Brooklyn a lot.

I really did not set out to buy 3 new balls or even 2, and yet find myself reading the reviews here daily, hoping to spot a ball that fits nicely between the Raid and the Anger, and is more skid/flip than arcing, that I could use for all 3 games.

I have older equipment that I still use ("Storm Triple X", "Storm Xtreme", "Brunswick Command Zone", "Ebonite Big One", etc.), but searching for something as an eventual replacement for one of them, and to compliment my newest balls (Anger and Raid) that seem to be much more "condition specific" than I anticipated....even though they ARE excellent when those conditions are present.

Not looking for magical answer either. Just interested in any feedback at all...especially from anyone who has used some of the same equipment.

Thanks.

I metioned it because of the length you get from it, hitting power, and carry from the ball.

Charlest is correct in that you don't need 3 different balls for a typical league pattern.  Just adjust when the pattern/ line changes.

that is true in most cases but you never know how the lanes are running and  depending on bowlers what lines they are playing sometimes a 3rd ball may do the trick and im saying this because i have alot of ball drilled different ways depending on how the lanes are running and if a 3rd or 4th ball gives me a better read of the lanes than the 1st two then so be it you cant never limit yourself. Question what if you were in tournament and u were throwing two strong cover stock ball and  lets say u had another u may have drilled a weaker pin to not read the mids but u didnt bring it but would have done the trick for you i would take 3 or 4 balls just in case because u never no how the lanes are going to run
