Title: Looking for a Medium/Dry lane ball with a strong backend
Post by: Ric Clint on June 03, 2003, 08:01:02 AM: A friend of mine needs a Medium/Dry to Dry lane ball that gets GREAT length but has a nice continuous backend.

Something like a ScreamR drilled weak with the PIN high above the fingers, and CG near grip center; OR, a Tornado drilled for some length and good backend.

He prefers USED.

Thanks!

Doug Sterner, how much backend does the Big Hit Solid have? Also, are we talikng about the reddish/gray colored one or the blue one? I know it gets alot of length, but is the backend similar to the the Too Hot in any way?

It really depends upon your friend's speed, but here are a few choices that can work pretty well on medium to drier shots.

Blade Pearl (Best med-dry lane ball I've ever thrown)
Green Gargoyle (You'll have a hard time finding more backend than this)
Eraser Boost (Some very light shine might be needed)
Wicked
Erase-It
Angle Evolution Extra

There are certainly others, but I've seen this group do bad, bad things on the shot you're describing. Hope it helps.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?
