Lane 1 ball for late shift.
« on: October 13, 2005, 10:12:57 AM »
What would you lane 1 experts suggest for a burnt out second shift shot??? something long with a good backend???  Other than the XL line.

I'm not an expert, but the H2O works perfect for me on dryer lanes.

Probably an H2o or a Tsunami H20

NOT the Tsunami H2O!!!  The H2O would do nicely, if laid out coorrectly, or even the Bullet.  The Tsunami is not really that long compared to the H2O or the Bullet, then again that would be affected by one's ball speed.

I would have to agree with the H2O laid out to go long with a little pop on the backend. If the lanes are pretty fried, then the bullet may work better for you.

The H20 is my second and usually third game ball depending on your personal stats it should be great for you on second shift.  Pehaps the bullet if they get really burnt or maybe if you either have ton o revs or lack of ball speed otherwise the H2O should be tame enough.

H20,  but if you can get your hands on a Bullet there's another option for you.

Based on what I have seen with my Tsunami, if you throw with a higher speed like I do, it might be worth a try when the lanes start to break down, especially if you started with a decent amount of oil.  Seems to smooth out any jumpiness.

Otherwise, the general consensus seems to be the H2O, which I will not disagree with.

Well, I guess like my bowling style, my response to this will be away from the norm. I have just gotten my Uranium Pearl drilled up...label drill...and this thing is just PHENOMENAL on second shift at my home house (old wood lanes, prodigy oil). They don't lay out a heavy shot to begin with, so by second shift A LOT of equipment starts hooking. I used that ball all night and shot 685 last week! Ball just couldn't be stopped. I did add a light polish to it, but I am already thinking of stocking up on this ball like I have the Columbia300 Wired and Columbia300 Cuda/C series (which are my two favorite balls ever...besides what you all are thinking). I don't know how your shot compares to mine, but a quick CATS briefing: 16mph at 11 feet, 250-260 rpm, and VERY consistent shot-to-shot. Hope this helps, and maybe some of the FOS will agree/disagree with me on this one?!?

I have had success when the pattern breaks down with my U Pearl.  It usually comes out after my Dirty Bomb if I can't get a predictable reaction out of the DB.  My UP is definitely smoother than my DB, but the Tsunami has them both beat in terms of predictability.
