Need a ball for dry lanes
« on: December 11, 2005, 01:19:28 PM »
Does ebonite make a ball that works well on dry lanes?  Sort of looking for a ball that works well playing outside part of the lanes. I can use my plastic spare for that area but carry isn't so great.

the tornado line works for real dry lanes or like an ice

Its round, has three holes, and you stick your fingers in it.

I believe that the Cross Fire would be too strong for dry, my dry lane ebonite ball is a Black ice, drilled pin under bridge, CG swung WAY out, x-hole to bring the side weight back down, cover taken to 4000 grit abralon, and then polished with Particle Polish.

I still like my Polyurethane Ebonite Gyro.

Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.
