Ball to clear drying heads but break smoothly?
« on: March 19, 2007, 11:01:42 AM »
What seems to me is that many "dry" lane balls do in fact clear the heads nicely, but really can take off when they hit dry boards towards the back of the pattern.  I play in ABT tourneys, and I need something that can get through drying heads on a flatter pattern without overreacting off the dry.  Any thoughts on what direction to go, both in terms of ball and layout?  If you just have an idea on what I should look for in diff, rg, cover prep etc. that's fine too.  I'm just not sure what it is I need to do what I want it to do.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...

Mystic on the slightly stronger side and venus on the weaker side, they will both give you what you are seeking. Blue ice would be ok but can get jumpy and i know that is not what you are looking for, i also agree with thunderstruck solid being a very good control ball.

Second the Venus it should solve you problem and I do believe Storm/Roto-Grip is a  sponsor of the ABTs, But yes the Venus is what I would drill up.
