Title: Straight Flush
Post by: mainzer on December 26, 2007, 11:28:36 PM
How is Straight Flush on Extreme dry? I Bowl a Tourney Circuit in the Wolf River area of WI and some of the houses have yet to figure out that they must put oil in the oiling machine.

I have it and you need extreme dry if you want to swing it or play first arrow for it to come back.  It's a good ball, when everything else is too much.  It has saved me, when everybody was struggling and searching for a ball to use.

To be honest, I got one because I was waiting for LM to make it available for about 10 months. It is a pancake core with a relatively mild cover. I personally don't like pancake cores, and didn't find this one a lot of use. The Hornet was much better but needs slightly more oil.

I found my Blue/Green Centaur to handle dry (well, as dry as any resin can handle) lanes much better: more drive and more power whiel clearing the heads more easily. A polished B/GC handles less oil better than my STraight Flush did.

YMMV.
