Hi I have been using the Ebonite Tiger ball for almost 4 years now. It has a lot of games on it. I am hoping to upgrade or look for a good second ball choice. I bowl on synthetic lanes with a medium oil pattern.  I bowl two back to back leagues one night and every other week another league.  I have been averaging 180+ since using the Tiger.  I usually bowl over the second arrow, go long and then have a nice arc to the pocket.  It seems lately as the night goes on the Tiger takes off and must hit really hard in the pocket as I will leave a dumb split like the 8-10 on what appears to look like a pocket hit.  I would appreciate any input or Tiger users on what they think about a new ball choice.  I bowl medium speed for a female and would say have low to medium rev rate on the ball.  Thanks Meg

There is an upgrade to the Tiger?

I bet your ball is either oil logged or that the surface has gotten too dull leading to lack of energy at the pocket.

8 -10 s are often a result of roll out.  This can easily happen as one bowls a pearl ball starts to gravitate to 600 grit over time due to friction with the lane.

A rejuvination and resurface may make you think that Tiger is brand new.

Otherwise like said the Showtime pearl is new and available at a proshop near you!

Hi Sheppy and others
The V2 Sweet is actually the ball I have been looking at too.  I know what the Tiger can do but hope to maybe improve my average by going to a stronger ball.  I know I can always fall back on this good old ball, the center owner agrees that he feels I would be disappointed if I did not try a more aggressive type ball.  I would love to hear from Sweet owners to see how they like this ball.  Thanks for the quick responses everyone. Hoping to raise my average.  Meg
