Title: 3 maybe 4 new balls
Post by: PikevilleBwl on June 11, 2003, 09:22:59 AM

Looking for 3 or 4 new balls this year. I need some new equipment mine has been pretty old of late. I throw the ball about 17.5 mph and I throw down and in a lot and I also throw a little belly ball. Looking mostly for Columbia suggestions but will take others also.

Are you looking for suggestions? or donations/sales/trades? and also, do you bowl for pikeville or is it just part of your name? I bowl for Illinois State, we were one of the teams generally at the bottom of the standings this year

Greetings,

Here is my suggestions for ya.....

Heavy....Dull Icon 300
Medium/House....WOW Pearl..(best ball Columbia has made in a long time..)
Med/Dry...Black/Gold Pearl Messenger TI....(2nd best ball made??) (
          Track Hex RevMaster (if wanting to try outside? of Columbia)
Dry....White Dot...

Went with Dull Icon 300 over original WOW due to ball speed....ICON will react a bit earlier than the WOW.......and in heavy oil and your speed this should be a good match....

Medium....There is no ball out there in my humble opinion better than the Columbia WOW Pearl.......can make a ton of mistakes and ball seems to do exactly what it is made to do.....get through the heads....read mid lane...nice arc to pocket....and hit....and never seems to lose energy until get into big time dry...

Med/Dry.....Black/Gold still going strong after all these years......a ball that goes long and then wham!.....If you want to try outside Columbia.....Track Hex RevMaster.........lots of bang for the buck and never seems to want to jump early...always gets down the lane.....

If need something for stupid dry or spares.....White Dot.....

Hope this helps!!!

Mike

Ok, I'll put my two cents in now...

Icon 300
WOW Pearl/Icon 2
Jekyll
White Dot (or use a Wild for spares like I do, depends on how you throw at it)
