Best for dry lanes
« on: April 24, 2004, 12:24:46 AM »
I have been looking in to buying my first lane 1 ball. I allready have a Storm tripple X and a Storm spare so I need something to bridge the gap. I have been recommended the XL (the UK importer still has one) witch if it reacts the way he discribed it sounds like just what I'm looking for. But I am still open to suggestions if any of you guys have any advice.

 Many thanks , Alex

I would think the urethane XXL, or the reactive Emerald would also fit the bill.  It doesn't seem like the XL was universally liked.  Many people experienced a lot of over/under with it.

Waht can you tell us about your game?: rev rate, speed, axis, tilt, type of lanes, oil pattern/length...

All in my profile,synthetic lanes as for the pattern and length I dont know ,all I can say is that they are normally medium but some times when I bowl they are toast!

cheers Jhon,

Looks like it will be the XL. You will be the first to know as soon as I get the money together!
