IM LOOKING FOR TWO BALLS TO USE IN LEAUGE THAT COMPLIMENT EACHOTHER FROM THE SAME COMPANY. MY GOAL IS TO GET BETTER AND TRY TO BECOME A TOURNEMENT BOWLER IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU HAVE THE TIME ALSO SUGGEST SOME LAYOUTS FOR ME. IM A STROKER WITH ABOUT 18MPH SPEED AND ABOUT 400REVS. MY AVERAGE IS ABOUT 170 BUT EVERYONE TELLS ME IM MUCH BETTER. IF YOU HAVE ANY THUOGHTS PLEASE RESPOND.

First off you're not really a stroker w/ 18mph & 400 rev rate - more of a "power tweener." In terms a 2-ball arsenal, you want something that can handle medium-heavy oil, & then something suited for medium-light conditions. Ideally 1 ball (for you the more hooking), should have an arching ball reaction, while the less aggressive should have a more skid/flip breakpoint shape. This gives you greater flexibility when playing the lanes. Any of the ball combos below would be fine. All will give you what you need, without breaking the bank. I would say go w/ whatever pair you can get the cheapest.

In terms of drilling, for the oil ball put the pin below your ring finger, w/ the CG kicked slightly out right. This helps generate a smooth ball reaction. For the dry lane ball, I would go with the pin above & between your fingers w/ the CG kicked out right. This is going to get the ball farther down the lane before it starts hooking, and give you a more "flippy" ball reaction. Hope all this helps.
