bowling balls for over/under conditions....
« on: July 22, 2004, 10:19:19 AM »
I figured out that I've been missing a ball from my arsenal and that ball would be something for over/under or spotty lane conditons.  My game doesn't need much work or a quad-milla-zillion (I made that one up, nice huh?) bowling balls but I need an over/under ball.  I'm a tweener, maybe stroker sometimes, with about medium revs and ball speed.  What kind of ball would you recommend?  I was looking for a ball reaction that would be pretty smooth throughout the entire lane without jumpy movements and a little bit of an arc at the end, sort of like a urethane ball (but I don't know if those will hook enough).  HELP ME OUT!!!

use a silver streak drilled 1 1/2 X 4 and scuff the surface nad go 1/4 side weight.

Very smooth and tames the over/under

quote:
bowlerstyle, for an over/under condition, symmetrical core balls will work best. A lower RG, "pin in", and/or a "CG out drilling", will also help in giving you an even arcing motion.  


As a starting point, T-GOD has given some good advice. Taking this further, stay away from pearls and polished reactives.

Given the above, there are probably a number of balls from different companies that will fit the bill. For smoothing out over/unders, I've had a lot of success in the Ebonite line with the Savage core and duller covers. Specifically, that would include the Savage Sanded, Predator Jungle Green, and the current Showtime Sanded. Just gradually polish up as necessary to achieve the reaction you want.

I would have to say the Fuze Eliminator, best ball to do what your saying. It does hook a lot out of the box but once you get some games on it, best ball you'll ever own. Unfortunately they are being discontinued, so if you can find one I would suggest getting it, I have two of them now and wouldn't mind getting one for a later time since my first one has about 8,000 games on it.
