I've decided since I dont like my Intense, I might as well try to trade it for a lane 1 ball to try, since I've been so eager to lately. (yea yea, eject me from the cult...I can take it) But anyways, I want something that I can throw on lighter oil THS, that is very controllable. I'm thinking maybe if I can find a Bullet, and drill it to arc, that might be good? I'm just looking for some suggestions right now.

Didn't you just buy a crapload of bowling balls?

Listen, I will take the role of the older, wiser bowler. Quit buying so many damn bowling balls! Find a game for you that works, practice releases, practice your accuracy, practice controlling that rev rate, and adjust! I really hate being like this, as I myself am a ball whore, but if i can't be saved, I can at least save you!

I know it can be fun to buy a new toy, but think of some alternatives also. How is the intense drilled now, is it too strong/weak for the role you want it? Does it just not hit as well as you wanted? If it doesn't have a weighthole yet, you might want to think about putting one in to adjust reaction. Also, sanding to 2000 then polishing with something high gloss (I assume it is too strong) and then finishing it off with some wax from a lustre king might be the key. This will give it better length and really kill the backend.

There is nothing current in the lane 1 line that I could even suggest for the position you want. Bullet is much too strong, I've seen some in action that hook a ton! Nothing else in the line would fit where I think you want it to fit.

Think of all the balls you have that are not sitting in disuse, because you wanted something better, you got sick of them, you didn't like them, or you can't sell them. Get one of them out and redrill/play with the surface if you need the thrill of a new ball!

Try the Bullet.  Last weekend I tried my U-Pearl on a typical house wall with big backends - way too much on the back.  Tried my Silver 'Saw - same thing on the back.  Just to blow a friends mind I pulled out the Bullet, moved 9 right with my feet, and threw a 4 board break flush in the hole.

Ragnar sure likes to throw his purdy Uranium Buzzsaw.

BK, I think you shoudl get a uranium pearl or dirty bomb.  Our shot isn't THAT light oiled you know, otherwise your nemesis would burn up real easily given your revs and speed, and i'm pretty sure the bullet is supposed to be lane 1's dry lane reactive.  So i think a uranium or something would be better for our league.  But the thing is, they say lane 1 balls are really responsive to hand changes, so you gonna have to stop crankin it with full side roll, if you want an arcing reaction.

PS-  Don't worry about the nation, i dont think anyone actually expected you to last this long anyways.
