HELP!!! Completing my arsenal????????
« on: February 07, 2009, 01:57:42 AM »
I am a right hand, 15.5 MPH, down and in bowler (old school), who started bowling again after 30 years absence (i am 50). still trying to "catch up"
with all this new ball techno. Looking to finish building my arsenal.

I currently have an EBONITE NVS, HAMMER RAW PSYCHO, ELITE GOLD LABEL and
EBONITE MAXIM (SPARES).

What would be a good heavy oil ball????????????????
I am a tweener with med revs,not much hand who typically rolls 10-5, 12-7,
like I said OLD SCHOOL and proud of it LOL. Thanks in advance for your help guys.

I don't own one personally, but have seen several Roto-Grip Cells used in heavy oil situations with success.  At this point in time you and I may be the only ones in the world who don't have one.

Storm Dimension, Roto Grip Cell, AMF Mega Friction, 900 Global Bounty or Break S75. All of which are incredibly strong on oil, some of which may need a slight surface adjustment from box finish but they will all handle the job well.

I guess it depends on your definition of Heavy and type of pattern.

I know alot of people are raving about the V.G. but I'm just not sold on the fact that it's a heavy oil ball,med-heavy sure. it's that part of the vid where PW said how clean it is up front for such a strong ball.

Now if you want a HEAVY oil ball I would consider the N'Tense LevRg but understand you won't be using it much.now on a med/heavy THS then I'm sure the V.G.,Cell,LevRg or any other strong reactive would be a good choice.

not picking on anyone's favorite ball,just trying to help.

I would agree with an NVD. I am technically a cranker and at oob (4000 abralon) the ball handles a fair amount of oil. So to handle the heavier stuff i face in league sometimes i took it down to 2000 abralon. Other balls had to be at 500 and 1000 to get this reaction and i am glad i pulled it out of the closet! My opinion on the motion is that this ball gets a good early roll and is smooth and continuous. So if you want that type of motion i think this ball is a good fit. I have seen a lot of success from the Virtual Gravity but i cannot say much since i dont own one...

im an ebonite fan boy, but that virtual is a great piece.  and it is anything but 'really' clean up front.  this ball is very strong, all over the lane.

I'd go with the NVD, I have seen many people bowl the style that you say you  throw and they love that ball. I'd prob but the pin above the ring finger, but I believe you will like that for oily lanes, and if it is too much for you, always adjust the surface.

Fully agree, this ball definitely hooks (it even lets Liz Johnson swing the ball a bit) and is probably THE hottest ball out right now.

Virtual or Mega Friction hands down, the mega is the stronger of the two, i've thrown both. If you wish to stay ebonite... The Magic looks very promising!

From one old school guy to another.. consider the Nvd or if budget is a consideration the Pinslasher.

If you can get you hands on an Infinite One much better
