This is the shot they put out at last year's Labor Day open for the ABT by me. I expect it to be the same or something similar. What would be a good coverstock or cover prep for this kind of condition? I've been eyeing the Pain for awhile, and might decide to pick that up. It's strong enough and the solid reactive I expect would give me some consistency. I don't like to use anything assymmetrical, so those are out. Thoughts? I plan to play a pretty tight line around 17 out to 12, I have medium speed and medium-low revs. I've had a LOT of success with the Doom in general, hence I'm leaning towards the Pain to complement it. I also don't want to get anything TOO condition specific, as I don't often see a shot like this one. Thanks!

Just wondering, why don't you like assym stuff?

Um.. Pain would be a pretty good choice. Hawg Zilla would be good also.. staying with Hammer and all.

Outside of Hammer.. there really isn't too much since everything I'm thinking of is assym! Ugh.. Strike Zone, Epic Battle, Black Widow (In Hammer still), Passion, The Original Epic, Infinite One. All of these are pretty good.. just assym.

Wondering if you had a problem with assym's and never went back. Might of been the drilling or something. Please explain. Thanks.

There is alot of symetric choices, Absolute inferno, Untimate Inferno, schorchin inferno, bruswick nemisis, Storm Double agent, Track Arsenal Artillery, aggressive, reactive, Columbia action, Roto RSP and Roto RSX, Ebonite overtime, that is just off the top of my head. There is ALOT of good balls out there that are not aysemetric that should cover this kind of shot nicely. Of course, some of those balls will be better if the shot is alot longer.

I have still have too much inconsistency in my release to use assymmetrical stuff effectively. I've never had any success with them, and they were always VERY condition specific. I just feel more comfortable with a symmetric core.

17 to 12...is a tight pattern? OK.

Flat patterns and wet and long...a tight angle is 6 to 9. (that may be the different left side thing).

I kill em...

I use whatever backend fits! Anything from pearl to high rg heavy load particle.
Track Spell.

I have also found assymetrics if they don't force me to swing early(too low rg) allow me to sometimes match up well also... MoRich Total Annhilation.
