Best Dry Lane Ball
« on: June 04, 2009, 07:13:02 AM »
I'm down to these two balls for dry lanes Roto Grip Neptune or the Lane1 Starburst xxxl. Could you give me an idea which to go with or is there something that would do the job better, Thanks

The Neptune will handle a bit of oil, the XXXL will not.  Depends on what you're actually bowling on.

 Yes, it is. I had the red one. Supposed to have been same cover as a white dot, but my white dot was better.

My Straight Flush is allergic to oil. If I can see it on the ball when it comes back, I probably missed the head pin.

Out of your two choices I'd recommend the Neptune, but if you're looking at ALL options I'd say the Avalanche Slide for dry.

The Neptune is great, but from what I've observed can sometimes be stronger than you'd expect.

I have a 5" pin to pap tropical,it skids a good 30 ft. with very low revs then winds up hard in the mid lane and back end.good ball for lite oil and tight backends.

Power Groove Dry/R (just discontinued, it seems) was a veery good light oil/dry lanes rtecative piece. Underrated, IMO.

If you still can find one, the Slate Blue Gargoyle form Visionary was another very good ball for that purpose, and there's a urethane Ogre just in the pipeline. The Blue/Green Centaur might also fit the bill.

Another option is IMO still any old Faball urethane Hammer ball. These things last forever and are excellent choices for little oil on today's lanes, even for the dry.
