compliment
« on: August 07, 2004, 07:30:50 AM »
I've looked at a few balls for the upcoming fall leagues. I've decided to go with a Storm Super Charge to sort of replace my worn out Tour Power (no label) I was thinking of a pearl or a particle pearl. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've scored well with an El Nino 2000 in the past.
   
     I'm looking for a strong pearl reactive or particle pearl. I want to really open up the lane once it gets dry. I have a pearl beast that is really tame. Need something to open up dryer conditions when the super charge is not getting to the break point. I'm not partial to any manifactor.
     I've had success with most any brand. Including Lane#1, MoRich, Storm, Ebonite, Columbia300, Track, and AMF. I would like to try something from a smaller company. I like being the guy with the equipment that no one else has....
      Thanks for any insight.

Pearl - X-Factor
Particle Pearl - Depth Charge
either would be a good compliment to the Super Charge

I'm a bigger fan of the Eraser Pearl Particle than the depth charge.

It's cheap and I think on closeout somewhere.  It has a more agressive move than the Depth Charge which is more even and big hooking.

And in all reality as much as I like the Eraser Particle PEarl I like the Flashpoint even better.  However it is not a particle pearl it is a pearl but the most unique I have thrown!

Visionary Green Gargoyle goes long and snaps like a mother on a red headed step child.  I got mine drilled pin over the ring and the CG stacked under it.  I have just been messing around and played 3 on the left side of the lane out to 1 on the right and came in high, so it hooks let me tell ya.

Eraser Pearl Particle has been my go to ball for the past 7 months ever since I've gotten one. I'm able to throw it on fresh oil conditions and then when the lanes open up and carrydown hits, it also works very well. The only time it's tougher is when there is little head oil or when its an absolute flood, otherwise this ball has quite the snap at the back for the medium/heavy through medium/light conditions.

I've heard a lot of people speak highly of the Depth Charge, but have yet to see anyone throw one in my area...

LL,
    How similar is the Eraser Particle Pearl to the Eraser Blaze? I had the later and really didn't match up with it too well. I did read your review of the Flashpoint, if it is that strong in recovery I may try it out instead. I'm trying to only use 2 balls this season, since the town I live in now has only one center, I don't think I'll need more than that, unless I travel.
    My dilemma is that I've been out of the loop for over a year, and I'm hesitant to just run out and buy something. I've read your reviews and posts since I can remember. Another point is that: I haven't bowled on the league condition yet. Well, maybe the left-overs, but, not the fresh shot that I'll see in a few weeks.

I believe the best pearl reactive for the dry is the Roto Grip Sonic Boom.  It gets tremendous length, but has the best core in any dry lane reactive I have seen.  That from a confirmed Brunswick freak, but in my opinion thats the best way to go.  If you can find a NIB Storm Core Power HRG, that would also get you to the break point better.

Brenton,
I recall that I was looking at that ball when I decided to stop bowling. It seems to get great reviews. That also goes for the HRG, in my pursuit to replace my Tour Power, that ball seems to come up from other bowlers. Thanks.

Hey Brian,

Check out the Track Sheer Havoc or even the Crash for more length on dry.  Both are very nice reacting balls....

Rick,
The Crash looks like it has the Columbia Messenger line core? The Havoc hte amf evolution core? The messenger line worked for my game. This is interesting. I was close to making a decision. I like the evolution line aswell. However, I'm not sure about for drier lanes. I'm confident that's what I'm going to see here in this new town.
One more question, do you use the vise vacu systems? Have you tried them. I use them and love it. However, finding pro shops that know how to drill them is nerve racking. If you could send me some info about it that I could share with the local shop, I'd be VERY appreciative. My email addy is the same as my login name at hotmail dot com or the same name at adelphia dot com.
Thanks so much.
