What ball would you recommend for someone with lower speed, lower tilt(high track) and lower axis rotation..    Looking for something that will be more continuous and not roll forward as soon as the ball hits friction.

for use on medium to medium dry lanes.

any cover and core characteristics to look for?

Was thinking about an Lt-48, hy-road or hy-road pearl with the right layout and surface, one of the melees or ringers.. not sure which.

any recommendations ??

I am lower axis/tilt, but not low speed (yet).  I've found that unless there is a ton of oil out there, high-performance balls are not beneficial to my game.  I've found I do best in the conditions that you describe with mid-range balls that are skid/flip for others because nothing is skid/flip for me.  The skid will help it get down the lane and the flip ends up being better continuation on the backend.  There are exceptions and these have been my results and may not match your results. 

I was in the same boat till I learned to increase these points, tilt and axis. Top weight and such don't help much IMO, well very little help. Even covers in today's balls are stronger, again, IMO. I struggled with the Breezes when it got bone dry. Their covers are strong and their cores are so weak and I have a good amount of speed as well.

Learning to increase tilt and axis will help in the long run. But, if we are talking about now, I found working with the balls covers instead of layouts and such was a major factor in helping me battle the dry.

Right now, a ball I'm having success with on dry is the Lord Field Crucial. A pearl cover weaker than a Vibe and breeze, and a core bigger than a breeze. I don't really get the skid flip, Rather a urethane look.  I get the length and the continuation through the pins.

Sometimes ya gotta throw it better instead of searching for a unicorn.

For awhile I was looking for that Unicorn but it was an Never ending story...

Good to see some posts in this thread about the real issue changing technique rather than a piece of equipment.  Good ball fit will also help in changing tilt and axis rotation. 

I hear ya, but I'm not the one throwing the ball.   All his stuff got stolen so he needs to get a new ball.   I'm just trying to give the guy a chance to score with the release he has right now.  I've also suggested that he get his fit checked and re-measured. 

thanks for the info.  This is for a teammate of mine.  We are definitely looking at weaker covers.  I was looking for more rolly cores that had continuation.  I was thinking a skid flip ball or layout would want to get into a forward roll too quickly. A lot of my thinking may have to do with where we are bowling though.  There is hardly any oil in the heads and the balls tend to start reading as soon as they hit the lane.

rolly cores will just exacerbate the problem. skid flip balls and layouts are skid flip because they delay the hook and roll phase. also top and side weight are called static weights for a reason. they dont do anything. so a layout with more or less of those things wont change anything. popular misconception

With a strong release, I agree that the static weights have little to do with affecting ball motion. But when someone has slow speed and a ball that is pretty much rolling most of the way down the lane, I think side weight is going to help the ball turn or at least continue to turn.  And I know it isn't going to turn hard.. just gradual. But any turn is a help.

From what I know the flip part is created from the ball transitioning from skid to roll quickly, thus having a short hook phase.    I want to delay the hook phase and make it as long as possible.  He has a fringe and that ball rolls out too quickly for him.

Surface dictates all and the less the bowler creates the less the piece of equipment matters...plain & simple...zero axis rotation creates zero reaction
Slow ball speed basically means the bowling balls,ows down too fast..not the static weights or top weights...this isn't chasing a unicorn this is chasing a dead unicorn...and beating it when you find it
I understand needing a quick fix but this is generally the issue of too many bowlers...looking for a band aid after having open heart surgery

Mike and Ric the just crack me up..hahaha
