Little Help
« on: July 17, 2008, 12:07:48 AM »
Here is my current arsenal. I am looking for something to round it out. Any ideas? I was kinda looking at a ball below the cherry vibe but also maybe something in a control piece to cover medium down all the way to light. Thanks for any help.

I'd look more towards reaction shape than oil volumes.  I've been toying with this idea lately, and it helps a ton.  I have balls that hockey stick, that arch, that hook/set, or that mosey to the pocket.  I have my preferences, but when needed I can handle the different conditions, and predictably.

That said, that new Hammer Psycho seems like a winner.  I saw it in person, and on a video somewhere...very round in reaction shape, and great carry too.  I'd look into that, or even maybe the BW Pearl, that's round as heck drilled pin down (from what I've seen).  

Good luck!

OK. Thanks. I have been doing some more of that too as I bowl in alot of tournies on tougher conditions.
My heavy oil side has got both arc/skid-flip.
My medium to light side is mostly skid-flip. The physco would be more arc in shape?

Also, check out a Rival.  That ball is a gem really. This video of Britton's alright, since it's pin up it goes a little longer.  My friend has one where the pin is a bit right of his middle finger, and it's just...gorgeous to watch. http://videoballreviews.com/RIVAL.html

The Power Groove Dry/R is a good light oil ball, especially for the price.  Or if you can still find one, the Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle.  The last time I looked allstarbowling.com still had some.  --  JohnP
