Title: Agent or Shift?
Post by: Zach M on May 05, 2008, 04:22:14 PM: Just looking for a little advice. Which ball would fit best under my Special Agent for the PBA experience league I will be joining? I am a high tracker with medium speed that likes to play quite straight, primarily up second arrow. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks,

Zach

The Agent is more angular than the Shift...if that helps.

It completely depends on layout and ball roll. I have had just about all of both lines, and IMO the Agent is by far the most angular. The asymmetrical balls pick up the midlane a little more overall, and have a slightly more controllable breakpoint.

the shift is smooth and predictable

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
