Hi HammerHeads, So in your opinion, which ball would be a nice fit to go under these babies, Jigsaw Corner and Black Widow Venom.
Plus it doesnt matter if its a solid or a pearl...I was kinda thing the Epidemic or the Taboo Jet-Black!
Thx for your input.

Hi Big Jake,the Epidemic would certainly fit under those two balls.I think the Taboo black would hook almost as much, just all on the backend. On a seperate note, did you ever pick up that Cyclone you were talking about getting?

I would look into the Grape Vibe. Since the Cobalt Vibe has the cover of the Black Widow, it may be close to your Venom. So with that in mind, I would consider the Grape since it is a step below the Cobalt. Plus, the Vibes are cheaper than all those others mentioned as well.

You might look at the Nail. It's a little pricier than the Vibes, but by like ten dollars. I've seen two people throwing it, and they both were able to get right after the transition from their go-to ball to the Nail. Seemed like it read the lane well, and was super smooth. One was a cranker, one was a tweener. Very positive in their hands.

Thanks everyone, @stc067, yup, I did and I couldn't get it to be a consistent roll for me as I experienced the over-under hell with it.
It was the 1st time that I had that happen to me too, kinda weird, but to me that ball was not for me.

Hmmm, since I have and love my Cherry Vibe, maybe I'll try the Cobalt Vibe or Nail...

For a ball between your Jigsaw Corner & Venom... I would recommend a Arson Pearl or Nail. Both of these balls are clean in the front & has a strong, but continous motion in the backends. These balls are symetrical and would be a great compliment in your current arsenal that you noted above.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sorry to hear the Cyclone didn't pan out for you.I just bought my daughter a Cobalt Vibe to replace her Cherry Vibe, and although it's noticably stronger, she's really loving the ball so far!

Did you mean "to goUNDER the JCorner & Venom?? I'm asking cause I thought the Nail was a ball a little more stronger than the VIBES but yet much weaker then the two listed.
My Cherry Vibe has the pin above the bridge (dont remember the specs) so out of the current Vibes and/or the Nail I was going to drill it with the pin below the bridge.

For whatever it's worth, in BJI's July 2012 issue, when they tested the Nail, they said it was a 1-2 boards weaker than the Grape Vibe. And, of course, the Grape is 1-2 boards weaker than the Cobalt Vibe.

Probably the Nail or Grape Vibe. Tomorrow, the secret purple ball is revealed.
