Help choosing a new ball....
« on: April 29, 2006, 05:51:46 AM »
Hi i need help choosing the specs for a new ball. I was wondering if a few of you bowling experts here can help me :

1. What should the pin location be?
2. Top weight?
3. Looking for a good amount of hook with a nice backend

Please refer to my profile to help choose. The balls that i'm currently using have 2 - 2 1/2 inch pins ( dont know top weight ). I already am looking at a few different balls i just needed to know how i should buy them. Thanks in advance

well if you know your rev rate, ball speed, prefered line to play and such it helps a lot, most balls you can drill to fit your style no matter what ball but you really fine tune when you know specs.

1. It doesn't really matter, longer means more drilling possibilities and sometimes they are said to go longer before break then ones with a shorter pin

2. it doesn't really matter but a nice range is 2.5-3.5 and my personal weight i try to stick with is 2.75 not a big deal except when worrying about static weights

3. well without your style of a bowler (rev rate and such) its hard to tell what to match you up a with a certain ball


and hopefully someone else can elborate with this also

Your given specs do not help in the respect to the questions asked.
1) PAP measurement
2) ball speed in mph
3) rev rate as in revolutions per minute
4) what tpye of ball are you looking at purchasing
5) exactly what condition are you going to bowl on,light patern, med patern,heavy patern
 
The more accurate the information you give the better response you'll get.
We all just do not want to misinform you, thats why no one is responding.
Also do not demand help, ask for it in a way that is on behalf of the people your talking to.
