Title: Favorite Burn Balls
Post by: 2handedrook12 on October 17, 2015, 11:46:36 PM: Just wanted to hear what everyone's favorite ball on the burn is. Speaking about conditions where you still need something strong enough to turn the corner but still gets down the lane. Some of the best I've seen lately include: Hy-Road Pearl, Viral, and Unhinged.

My Storm Punchout and DV8 Ruckus Schizo are both pretty good when I have to get further left and wheel it, although I don't bowl on really dry conditions that often.

The Brunswick Soul is also pretty good when they dry out. It's clean through the heads, and the backend stays controllable enough to keep it from going sideways on you.

Post by: avabob on October 20, 2015, 10:11:12 AM: it really depends for me on whether the heads are gone, or I can still find some head oil in around 4th arrow. My old cobalt vibe is still very good when I cant find much head oil even very deep.

LT-48 AND Strike King

I have both, LT-48 with a long smooth rolling layout and a strike king with a Rico drilling. excellent compliment for the burn.

Post by: Jesse James on October 20, 2015, 04:22:47 PM: The balls I actually use for the burn are my old dependables:

A Global Link; a Roto Grip Sonic-X or a Roto Retro Blue. With these balls I can actually play in the burn.

Of the most recent balls out though, I have found my Strike King to be superb in bumping off the burn.

With my revs my LT-48 is a medium condition ball.

Post by: Impending Doom on October 25, 2015, 09:44:18 PM: I like my Desert Hook more on the burn than I liked the Link. Link got awesome length, but jack knifed off the spot. Desert Hook never does that. I like it more than my Desert Heat too. I could never get in with that ball. I love it on burn.

Post by: Brandon Riley on October 27, 2015, 05:55:28 PM: I prefer balls that don't flare too much so that I can keep my angles tighter. For me the LT48, Dude and Hooligan have all been great options. Unless I am trying to stay in out on drier lanes I also try to stay away from the really low end pieces.
