Is there a better ball or ball company for "carry"?
« on: July 11, 2011, 02:02:48 AM »
Been bowling for years and i often here people say "x ball company is known for its carry" or "this ball does this and that", it is true im no bowling scholar, as i dont really understand rg, axis, tilt, speed, and how it all ties together. I carry a 205-210 average year in an year out and i only bowl 1 time a week in 1 league for 30 weeks out of 52. However, i bowl with someone who has a beautiful delivery, knows the game well, and it seems like he always gets tapped. i know everyone does here and there but this guy truely leaves 10 pin, 7 pin, all night long, he averages 195-200. it pains me to see my teamate continually leave corner pins when he has such a nice delivery and is very accurate.

   so with all the hooplah and craziness of bowling balls, surfaces, late hook vs early, rg's, speed, axis, forget that for a minute and tell me is there a certain ball or ball company that has a reputation of getting you the best carry for 10's and 7's? Lane 1? Storm? brunswicks early zone balls in the mid 1990s? anyone have any emperical evidence or thoughts on this topic?


lets face it... this isnt deadlifting or picking up women.. its BOWLING!!!! Stop acting tough when you roll 4 strikes in a row!!!

IMO nothing that i have thrown makes a more pronounced move off the spot or carries better than LANE #1

Carry is a product of entry angle, position in the pocket and the ball in the final phase of ball motion, roll.

No manufacturer is better than the other with carry.

Its up to the bowler to carry, not the ball.

At the advanced level is more like the guy throwing it rather than the brand of the ball.

In my opinion, there is no magic ball or ball company, but I will say, when you find a preferred layout and the right ball, that's where the magic begins.  When you match up with the right ball/s, you'll know it.

For 7s and 10s the way it sounds it is the bowler. Some days are better then others, everyones averages reflect that. If it is that consistent then the bowler needs to make adjustments.
 
I can say over the years that I have thrown a handful of bowling balls that had a distinct hit/sound compared to anything else I had thrown. Some of the Motiv stuff is that away compared to others I've thrown. Not saying it carries better, but has a very distinct sound difference compared to some others. It sounds like it hits more solid, but that is just perception. 


Be good, or be good at it.
