i was just curious if this would be a good fit for medium oil...dry straight down the middle and heavy on the outside?

...thanks

The Judgement is a great piece for mediums, in saying that need to know about your game to totally understand if it's right for this shot you have described.

Are you saying you're bowling on a reverse block or are the lanes being played mostly in the middle so the oil goes faster there than on the outside?

to be honest im not real sure what these lanes are like...this is only my 2nd week...i was just told it was dry down the middle and wet outside so i had to play really tight to the pocket

I'd have to eco what polarmike said regarding needing more info.

From the two weeks you have been there, what balls and lines have you tried? What has and hasn't worked? If there's anyone that throws the ball similar to you, where have they been playing and what have they been using?

I would try to focus less on what someone said they lanes are supposed to be like and more on what you're seeing from people actually bowling on it.

If you can give us some more info to go on, i'm sure plenty of people will offer recommendations, but without knowing more about you and the lanes, any recommendation is a shot in the dark.

So it sounds like you either need a ball that is slightly stronger than the Venom Toxin, but laid out similarly... or a ball that is very similar to the Venom Toxin but laid out to be a little stronger.

I think the Judgement is stronger than the Venom Toxin. Based on what I've seen from both, the Judgement should get into a roll sooner (Two guys I bowl league with throw Venom Toxins. One is a Motiv Staffer).

They're both hybrids, but the RG is slightly lower on the Judgement (roll slightly sooner), the differential is a lot higher and will flare more (generally more hook on the back end), and IMO the cover on the Judgement is stronger.

So, kinda shooting from the hip, but based on what I've read so far, it seems like the Judgement would be a great ball to switch to. I would just suggest maybe a "longer" layout, since I think a similar layouts between the two balls would get the Judgement into a roll too early on the conditions you described. Opinions vary on layouts depending on who you talk to, but I could suggest a pin-up / CG-out-a-little.

Hope this helps.
