I think I have a gap in my Lane 1 arsenal
« on: February 01, 2006, 12:06:53 AM »
I've been trying to build a Lane 1 arsenal and I think I'm a ball short.  Maybe you guys can tell me if I'm out to lunch, need one more ball or re-drill or adjust the surface on one of my existing balls.

I need something solid between the Solid Uranium and the Tsunami.  I might have to re-drill the EU.  Gets down the lane well but the back end is tremendous.

I have the

Solid Uranium (2)
Enriched Uranium
Tsunami (3)
H2O (2)
Bullet

I also have a couple of LRGs, Emerald, Teal, Super Carbides, Cherry Bomb, Black Cherry Bomb Super Carbide Bomb, XL (3), XXL and the old black Buzzsaw with the yellow print.



Thank you.

Nicanor,

If I counted correctly you have accumulated over 20 lane 1 balls?  And you still have a "hole" in your arsenal?  Wow.  The only balls I noticed missing were the Dirty Bombs.  They don't make anything else.  No disrespect intended, I am just a little amazed by this.

LOL, and that's just his Lane 1s.  Ask him about the other manufacturers.

Barry is that black Buzzsaw the one I gave you.  If so, stick it between the bullet and the H2O.

It is SrKegler.

I think I have to many light oil bowling balls and too many heavier oil bowling balls.  The Teal is pretty good in the medium.

So what would be better the Dirty Bomb or the Hybrid Dirty Bomb for a medium to medium heavy ball?  Not heavy oil.

Thanks for the help.

HDB in my opinion. The DB is a little more condition specific. It is sweet on clean backs, but can get squirty at times (carrydown). The HDB is more versatile making it suitable for a variety of conditions. I use my U Solid and HDB more than the rest of my arsenal combined.

I really think you have everything covered.  H20 for lite to medium, Tsu for med-med hvy.  EU for med/hvy, SCB for heavy.  Adjust the surface to counteract the length of the pattern.

I think the Hybrid would fit nicely between the EU and the Tsunami. It handles med-med heavy very well, it is definitely NOT a light oil ball. I also think that your Black Cherry Bomb (maybe with a touch of polish) would fit the same role.
