Title: Is the Big Deal good for big-time oil?
Post by: Gene J Kanak on February 20, 2006, 12:49:38 AM

Hey guys and gals,

I have a chance to pick up a NIB Big Deal via a trade. My question is this: Would the Big Deal by a viable option for me to use as a heavy oil ball? I want this to be the ball that I go to when my slightly polished Total Shock & Awe isn't cutting through. You know, the hardest-grabbing ball in the bag sort of thing. In case you need them, the particulars on me are as follows:
High speed (17-18 mph), high track player with average to above average revs, depending upon the line I'm trying to play. Any help you Hammerheads can provide will be appreciated.

Not sure if it helps, have a team mate that used his Big Deal for heavy oil, until he got a Hawg, now it's his 'lite side of heavy oil to heavy side of medium oil', or that's what he calls it.

From watching him, the Hawg does a bit better in heavy oil , BUT, he has a good amount of hand and can change releases as conditions dictate.

Not sure how helpful that was, just info for you.

Gene: I used to have a Big Deal. It worked great for Heavy oil.
I had a chance to compare it to a Hawg i had at the same time.
I bowled at a 6 gamer which had put out a 45 foot shot buffed to 48
feet with left over open play on the backend. It was tough. I threw the Hawg and it didn't wrinkle at all. I threw my Big Deal and it moved. I was playing off 6 or 7 with a small point. The Big Deal has length with backend compared to
the Hawg which has a mid lane roll and smooth backend reaction.

FWIW my money says a Big Deal doesn't hook more than a slightly polished T/S&A...
