Title: New Arsenal
Post by: JEE on November 24, 2006, 12:41:15 AM
Was wondering with all the new stuff out by Ebonite what would look good in a 4 ball arsenal. I'm rt handed, 320 rev rate, 16-17 w/ball speed, release at 90 degree.

4 ball inclusing spare ball or not?

Id go with the:
Infinate One
Smash Time Pearl
Whirl Wind

So hard to give a 4 ball arsenal.  Ebonite has one of those really good problems right now, in that they have a lot of really outstanding balls.

I tend to look at your choices in groups.  If you prefer to play larger launch angles, flippier breakpoints, and more overall hook, I'd go with:
Angular One
The One
RXS300
Whirlwind (1 smoother option)

If you prefer to play smoother breakpoints with a little less overall hook on the lane, I'd look at:
Big One
SR300
Whirlwind
Big Time Sanded (1 flippier option)

Good luck!

Not a good arsenal you're duplicating with The One and Angular One why not go with the Big One or Infinite One

You pose a good arsenal, but the Angular and the One are very different.  Having thrown both I can say that the One is smoother and much later.  I figure that I personally will build an arsenal with:

The wirlwind (drilled very mild) - light
The One (drilled pretty mild, at least with a flare reducig x hole) - light to medium
The RSX300 (standard drill) - medium and smooth reacting
The Angular One (drilled 4 1/2 x 5 pin above mid by 2" or slightly less) - medium and angular
The Infinte One (drilled the same or pretty similar to the AO) - heavier

I might have to get a dirt ball in there, but it seems pretty good to me.  Also what I deem medium is a bit heavier than most think.
