Title: What is the best medium burnt ball
Post by: Hand of God on August 31, 2006, 05:31:51 AM
My Buzz was much stringer than I thought it would be, but I can still play the deep lines.

Besided the Kong, which LM/L ball goes trully long and arcs up?

--------------------
Balls for this winter season:

Terminator - Stacked - Heavy oil
Big Bang - Stacked - Medium to Heavy oil

An Absolute Power will, with the proper layout.

The Terminator has a Diff of .040
As the lanes transition and dry up, do you want less flare potential (.031 Buzz) or more (.045 Absolute Power)?

Looking at what the previous poster said, I must first say that looking at RG numbers and differentials does NOT tell you exactly what a ball does.  Coverstock has a lot more to do with ball reaction...

That being said, I am sorry to state that my initial thoughts (until reading further into the post) were of a polished Kong...however, given that you don't want one...you might also consider a Masterpiece, with the pin placed over the fingers and closer to your track (something like over your middle finger), with the CG swung out.  That might work...perhaps others might comment on this idea?

Again ... an AP, AND with the proper layout, as well as a suitable coverstock finish.

More.  As you move inside you'll need more ability for the ball to recover.  Depending on your technique, tilt, etc.

AP doesn't sound like a bad choice as Robb said.  You could go outside LM/LL and find many balls that fit this catagory.

BTW, I've never heard the phrase "medium burnt" used as a condition description; normally, and generally speaking (in descending order) ... it's medium-light, light, light-dry, dry, fried/burnt OR fried heads, etc, etc, etc.

Basically I am refering to a light burned out lane, that still retains enough head oil to get the ball to the mids, but then it checks up fast....

Kong conditions?

Light-dry ... nope, not for the KONG IMHO.

I'm not a layout "guru" (so maybe charlest can chime in with a thread (but weaker layouts on the AP or SatisfaXion, along with the proper surface adjustment) or maybe the Straight Flush.
