Is there a High Performance ball that is for drier lanes??
« on: January 14, 2005, 04:36:36 AM »
i've been using a Ebonite killer instinct Pearl for the most part , Medium patterns and even some heavier patterns and the instinct works and hits extemely hard.

However, i've sometime encountered really fried up lanes late at nights and the killer is far too aggressive and i find myself standing around the 30 and hitting the 15 or 17 board.

so i went out and bought myself a Sper Trooper. nice ball but the hitting power of this thing is just way less potent than the killer or any of my other high performance balls.

any suggestions on this?

ebonite illusion....think a killer instinct pearl(same core) with a weaker coverstock(i believe)

Sonic X Pearl. Not really a burnt condition ball but an excellent light oil ball.

I love my sonic x, i don't see why you would need anymore of higher performance ball then that for dry.

I agree with you - love my sonic-x as well.  However... even though it has a weak layout, it is still too much ball for truly dry/toast conditions.  There are other choices out there with less cover and core.
