Title: ebonite predator red sparkle on heavy oil
Post by: matty on January 18, 2005, 06:05:22 AM

I use an Ebonite predator red sparkle and i have had great results on light to med oil patterns but my center has now gone to heavy oil and i am lost on the lanes my ball has lost a lot of its reaction should i sand it or buy a more aggressive ball. Help please.

the cheapest thing to do is sand that ball first, then if it is not to your liking u might want to drill up an Xcel particle. you wont need a strong layout for the ball.. just lay it out according to the spec sheet they give u. remember the pin and the bomb placement mean the most, not the cg. (symetrical core.)

thanks for the advise, I got the ball sanded today and a hell of a lot of reaction came back on the oil, saved a few bucks on buying a new ball,

For med oil the predator red sparkle is nice. (Very angular breakpoint shape)
For heavy oil try the predator red sanded if you can get one. It`s the most aggressive ball I know.

You might be able to pick up a Predator Jungle Green that is a very inexpensive ball I think I saw some on EBay

I have a predator pursuit in my arsenal.  I rarely use it cause its too much for a 2nd shift league.
