looking for a hard hitting mild ball
« on: May 13, 2004, 03:20:22 AM »
I am looking for a ball that hits hard, but dont hook off the lane.  I have a crunch time drilled with the pin above my ring finger but it snaps too hard on the backend.  The only way i can throw it and keep it on the lane is if i stand lext to the ball return and play 15 to 5.  I am looking for something that has a nice controllable arc.  I have a columbia wild that I can use but it just doesn't have the hit I am looking for.  CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!

although i don't have any of these any more, i recommend:
Monster Slay/R
Sling Blade
Jekyll
V2 Clean
V2 Dry

these should cover the hit very well. Especially the slay/r

New or used? I have a N.I.B 15# Reaction Rip tucked away in the garage. Message me if you're interested.

Can you give me a little bit of information about the reaction rip.  Also, I am looking for a big hit pearl.

Try a Diesel or even a weak drill on a Power Groove Reactive.

I have two balls that have really shined for me on these conditions:

1) Neo-Tac Khameleon - polished to 3000 grit
     more of an arc type of reaction, but definitely not jumpy at all

2) Dynothane Thing Returns - factory finish
     skid/snap type reaction, but may be a bit too much on the backend?!?!

I would look for one of these two balls.

Good luck!

The Thing Returns hooks a bunch.

In the Dyno-Thane line, I'd go with the Crisis.  Great ball for light oil, and for a medium-oil shot in transition.  Excellent "hit", whatever that is.

I'm sort of already liking my Spirit II from Columbia for that lighter oil but not lightest oil ball!

I am not looking for something with a hard snap on the backend.  I am looking for a smooth arcing ball.  Like I said, I have a crunch time and that ball is way to aggressive on the lanes that I bowl on.  I have no problem getting through the heads but I need something that i can control on the backend that still has good hit.  The wild that I am throwing has the control but it just doesnt have the hit and I'm ringing 10 pins.  I have a ball speed of 18-19 mph with high revs.  Thanks for everyones advice.  I'll be watching for more!!!!

Look at just about any Brunswick. Monster slay/r for me was pretty darn snappy, but I think that was due to my slow ball speed and higher revs. Anyways, monster slay/r for a light oil ball, or a monster bruiser, deffinitly a nice arcing ball.
