? on Ball Selection
« on: April 17, 2009, 05:36:15 AM »
Looking at possibly buying another ball, have thrown, Brunswick, Hammer, Storm and Roto Grip in the past.  Currently looking for a new ball to throw in a summer scratch league.  Looking for something that would be good for medium-medium heavy oil.  I have never thrown Lane 1 and have not seen any in my area, looking for some advice as to what you might suggest.  I am a tweener with ave revs and throw anywhere from 14.5-17 mph.   Might note that I am not looking for Hook in a box, I would like something that is controllable.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

med to med heavy, Dynamo or Agent orange, for me both fit the bill wonderfully, I like the dynamo more as carry down doesnt hit it as bad

I prefer the AO but you have to take it up to 2000 before using it.  Some say 4000, but a good start is 2000 then up from there.  The AO at 500 is condition specific. But at 2000-4000, the ball is a carry monster, but imho, not a big hooker.  No sluch either, but reads the mid lane better then the Dynamo.

"controllable"   I would suggest the Break Point.

It reads the mid lanes well and is smooth and predictable off the break.
And it may just be the hardest hitting ball in their line.

for the record break point is made by global 900 not L1 jls
quit trying to stir stuff up

med -med heavy = dynamo or a buzzbomb
buzzbomb ( original / solid ) was a great med - med heavy ball
more controllable for me than the dynamo

my vote Buzzbomb

B-dawg
He said he was "looking for a new ball, and he has never thrown Lane One"

Now exactly where does it say he asked for a Lane One Ball???

The dynamo?????  Isn't that suppose to be a hook monster??????

You know, 5 boards wider!!!!!!!!

Maybe all of you should learn how to READ.  He said, he didn't want hook in the box".

Now for the last 3 months all we have heard here is BLA BLA BLA hook monster big backend BLA BLA BLA dynamo...

Now all of a sudden it is a control ball????????

You sawheads are unreal.....

RVMARK,  do yourself a favor,  get out of this site,  these sawheads will tell you any line of B.S.  Most have probably Never ever bought a $200-$240 Lane One ball new...

I told you about a ball that will work,  and it will match up to what you said you were looking for...


"Ball of the year"  the dynamo!!!!!

"Need to make the lanes 5 boards wider"  >>>  And now a control ball!!!

Ya right.


RVMARK,  this groupies are so into themselves, that they would recommend anything to you....  A dynamo????  It is suppose to be a hook monster...

Do yourself a favor,  and just think about what you asked for, and what some of these know nothing groupies recommended...

good luck

Rvmark,   I told you about a ball that will work and matched up to what you said you were looking for.  The classless sawheads came on and recommended balls that are supposed to be hook monster's.  The Dynamo!!!!!!

The classless ebay used ball shoppers will tell you anything.  But if you really think the Dynamo or the a go long ball is best for you, like they say...

Then BUY IT.....

Larry M  is a sawhead wan a bee ebay shopper!!!!!

good luck

rvmark,

First of all, ignore jls. He jokes a lot.

As far as ball recommendations, you and I have pretty much exact stats in regards to revs and speed. And, like you, I've thrown (and continue to throw) equipment from multiple companies. What you get from the Lane #1 line depends on what kind of look you're trying to create for yourself on the lanes.

If you like a ball that has the potential to be very angular, you can still find the Supernova XP (not the regular Supernova) for a good price. Ask that it be polished after drilling. That ball can really turn a corner.

If you like a ball that rolls heavy, I would echo the recommendations for something with the Doomsday core in it. That would be the Agent Orange, BuzzBomb or BuzzBomb/R. I have the BuzzBomb/R and it is a good medium ball for me. Not as angular as you would expect a pearl to be. The BuzzBomb solid and Agent Orange are going to be stronger still due to coverstock differences.

I have no experience with the Dynamo at all. Judging from what others have said, it will be more angular than the Doomsday-cored balls. Its core is more similar to the Supernova, so that makes sense.

If you shop on eBay, you can still find the old G-Force Evolution and G-Force Nebula balls at insanely cheap prices. I have found the Evolution to be very condition-specific. It doesn't like oil but it will do tricks in the backend. The Nebula, being a particle pearl, should smooth that reaction out a good bit.

Again, I would figure out what look you want to create, then reverse-engineer a strategy that will get you to that point.

Rvmark,  at least this guy appears to know what he is talking about.  "more Angular"  and "control ball"  do not mix.....

Notice he felt that the A.O. and the dynamo were more angular.....

Those others who posted and said the A.O.  or the Dynamo,  makes you wonder about them.... Control ball???

Becareful, this site is full of hateful people called saeheads, and as you NOW CAN PLAINLY SEE, they will fill your head with B.S.

good luck

jls.............
he posted his question in the L1 forum, which, suggest he wants a L1 ball.
see the logic ?

i'm sure you see why one would object to your ball suggestion.

and the dynamo is controllable in a med-med-heavy environment

now get over yourself, and get back to your ZOO animals troll

I know rvmark didn't outright ask for recommendations for a Lane 1 ball exclusively, but he did put the question in the Lane 1 forum and not the other forums.

Wow did not know that it would up this much hub bub over requesting information on a Lane 1 ball suggestion.  To answer the question, I was looking for a suggestion for a Lane 1 ball thus I posted it in the Lane 1 forum.  I throw 16 lb. equipment.  I like to try things that others in my area are not throwing.  I currently throw a Roto Grip Grand Illusion, Storm Sure Fire and RG Venus, do not see anyone else in my area throwing these balls but have been happy with them.  I like to experiment with different balls and am an admitted ball junkie.  Have not seen any Lane 1 in my area but have heard positive things from friends in other areas that have been throwing them.  I again appreciate input from all to the subject at hand.  And again I am looking for a controllable ball to be used on medium oil and occasionally medium heavy and I am not looking for "hook in the box".  If I am interested in some 900G,(which knowing me I might be in the future) I will post in their forum.
