Smoother ball for dry lanes ??
« on: February 21, 2009, 08:17:44 AM »
Which would be a smoother ball for dried out, beat up lanes, a no core reactive ball like the Hammer Razyr, or a urethane like the Brunswick Groove Urethane ??

I'm looking for a nice smooth arc from the line to the pins, no jumping or doing anything crazy.

Get the Groove Urethane, the Razyr hooks a ton and is snappy on the backend. Believe me I have around 500 rpms and cant hardly get the Groove to move on medium lanes, my BWC hooks more than it, so definately a better dry lane ball.

I think I'm going to snag up a Groove. For $47 shipped,I can't go wrong. I just have never thrown a urethane, and don't know anything about their reaction.
I'm just looking for a nice even bow shaped arc with no snap to it. Something to try when my polished ball is getting too squirrely with the chewed up oil.
If I can salvage those nights with easy spares all night, I'll be happy with it.

I'm starting to realize why it is called "tweener hell".

From my SX-1, they're far too strong for dry lanes or light oil.

My favorite ball is the Blue/Green Centaur from Visionary. Real core, medium-high RG, super low differential, very smooth and very adaptable mild solid resin coverstock. Hit like a ... very hard.

LM hornet is very smooth. It will still hook quite a bit on drier lanes but its not snappy at all.

RG -the link. Used a friend's this past sat. Great leangth with a hard arc on some pretty toated lanes. It moved hard off the breakpoint, probably due to the aggressive drilling, but this piece was quite a suprise to me indeed.
