Title: Want to try something new ..can you help?
Post by: bts69 on January 23, 2008, 10:21:57 AM

Greetings!

Been a long time Track fan for many years.  Looking for a new ball.  Cracked my Track Rule last night in league.  My specs are in my profile.  Looking for a med - med/heavy oil ball.  Just doing my research to see what is out there.  Possibly looking at Lane #1 (anything you guys might be able to suggest), The Rising by Track, or the NV Line by Ebonite.  Current average is 187.  My advanced thanks for your suggestions.  I currently throw the Track Mutant as my primary oil ball but am willing to switch if the right ball comes up.  When the lanes become toast I throw Track Desert Heat.

PS  I took last year off due to having a right total hip replacement.  I'm 38 and I feel stronger now and can bowl more consistently now that my hip pain is gone.

Again thanks for your help.

We have a guy on our team who has similar ball speed and not a ton of hand, like you, and he just got the Rising.  This ball rolls great for him, and I would think it would be a good choice for you if you are already leaning in that direction anyway.

Although I am still waiting for my Buzzbomb to arrive, I have heard good things about it so far and can't wait until I can provide some firsthand info on it.  I have always been a little partial to my Buzzsaws.

G-Force
Supernova
or the new buzzbomb

are all a good choice I guess..

But I have none of them myself and also don'T really need them right now... so I guess others will be able to give you more advice.

From the Vids and stuff I would say go with a buzzbomb drilled to your needs and if the ball is too much you can still polsih it up a tad or take it to a higher grit
