Author Topic: Good intro ball for Lane #1? (Read 1812 times)

nicknefarious · « **on:** July 18, 2007, 04:42:01 AM »

For a while now ive been thinking of giving lane 1 a shot. From watching the videos on the site/seeing people raving about it, I've wanted to give them a shot. My storm ball just isnt reacting the way it used to. I've been thinking of getting the Hybrid dirty bomb. My usual center is med-med/heavy ths. Is this the right starter ball? Anyone have any suggestions or personal favorites they think i should start off with that might impress me?

I would go with the GForce Solid, and then add the Nebula as a second, or better yet wait for the Super Nova as your second.

I bought the g-force solid intending to use it on heavy oil and have been able to use on med oil as well.
ball works on everything except extreme dry or oily,very nice ball to build an arsenal around.

I've been throwing the Hybrid Dirty Bomb for quite a bit now and it's without a doubt, it's my favorite ball. Always first out of the bag. The ball revs up in the midlane without jumping too early and has a strong arccing backend. Mine's drilled rico so that tames it down a bit on the backend but this is absolutely one of my favorites of all time.

I have the Enriched as well and I really dont like that one. seems too condition specific. too strong to play inside, not enough to recover from outside. probably just me but my HDB smooths everything out.

From the Current Line UP - H2O
From Balls Recently Disc - Pearl Dirty Bomb
From ALL Balls produced - Pearl Cherry Bomb

The H2O is pearl and a tad weaker than the Tsunami from what I have experience (as long as you drill them similar!)

I drilled my H2O strong with lots of backend and this resulted in a strong ball which will work great aon anything from med to dry and maybe even a tad more oil but it needs clean backends!

as soon as there is oil the Tsunami works better as solid with a smoother overall reaction. Just my experience of course drilling makes a hell of a difference!

For medium medium/heavy I'd go with something like the Black Cherry Bomb, G-Force Solid or Enriched Uranium.

while i cannot vouch for the other balls, in my experience, the Enriched Uranium is a turd on med/heavy PBA shots

I have the Dirty Bomb. Awesome ball for a fresh THS. It is drilled stacked. I am not a high revs (more lower medium)person but still can throw around 17 mph and make a really strong move to the pocket. I maybe have 1 or 2 ten pins in a 3 game set. I would recommend it as a good starter from Lane 1.

again... I have no idea what the above means.

On fresh THS its lights out.

I used it on scorpion & chameleon, and it skated too far, and never turned over, Absolute Inferno did the job flawlessly @ 2 3/4" Pin to PAP.

PAP 4 1/2" Over 3/8" Up

Medium Revs, Medium-Low Speed.
Style Video

4" Pin to PAP
X-Hole 3" to PAP down VAL.

Enriched Uranium

I'm just saying, its not a ball meant for higher volumes.
anything reactive pearl even with particle @ 600 Grit + Polish will skate on heavier stuff.
