Title: Best skid/snap
Post by: skbowl800 on April 10, 2007, 06:39:54 PM
In your opinion, what was the best skid snap ball made in the past few years?  Length and backend is what we are looking at here.  Also, which company has produced the best skid snap balls over the past few years

IMHO, Morich has produced with the S&A and the AF balls that have a very high skid/flip potential, if drilled properly.

Another ball that has some potential in this category is Ebonite's SR300, with a high RG and medium-low differential. Back end galore, given you have enough head oil to get the aggressive coverstock far enough down the lane...

Another, almost antique ball that comes to my mind is the Reaction Rip from Columbia. Polished pearl reactive coverstock, paired with a high RG and high differential. This thing has also a very good basis to deliver a late and flippy back end.

How does the Dynothane Thing Returns and Legends Big R Bang stack up to the better skid snap balls of the past few years?

I dont care how you drill them (I have owned a few of each with different drillings), The Morich core is rolly by nature and so is Brunswick covers. They will offer a strong arc but, not a flip at all.

Storm is all about skid/flip and if you want skid flip, look there.

If it is all about length and flip, get a Fired Up, T Road or, a Domination.

Slop, I 100% agree

Why does everyone try to make it harder than it really is?  Overthinking makes the game that much more difficult.

That is funny, I had been considering a Fired up but then changed my mind.  Dang it, any one out there have one for sale?

Blue Retro Roto Grip was very snappy for me.

Currently it is the Green Gargoyle.

Unless you have one with a 2-inch pin and only 1.25 oz of top weight. Then it's an Arsenal Rolly As A Tire.

for me, it is the Storm Recharge

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.

Big shot drilled like mine(see in profile) is the most angular ball Ive ever thrown. But the fired up is still in the top 3 angular balls, even if its not the newest ball out there. The domination is not to far behind either.

I just resurfaced my silver streak pearl and the invisible man keeps kicking it to the left once it gets to 50 feet.  Not fair.  I swear I left a 4-7-9-10 on what looked like and SOUNDED like a flush hit.

DP3,
I hear you. I swear that ball rolls twice. So much angle.

Original Excalibur was crazy flippy back in the old days. Today, I like my Green Gargoyle.

is a skid flip reaction more dependant on drilling and bowlers technique than just the ball. Just a question I dont mean to sound ignorant,but on this i am sorry.
