Suggestion for a ball below the Doom?
« on: July 06, 2006, 02:25:18 AM »
The Doom is a great ball, but gets to be a bit too strong when the lanes start to dry out.  Any recommendations for something under it?  I'd prefer a smoother reacting ball, if possible.  I was looking at the new Venus, but also considering a Tropical Storm or a Vibe.

Stop trying to impress other people, people mostly care about what you're saying about them not you.

If you don't like Wrigley, you might as well leave the country and join the Taliban.

How strong is the Blue Vibe, though?  I always thought the CT cover was pretty strong!  Is it more for medium conditions?

You could get either Vibe. The Blue is a little stronger in the midlane, but drilling and cover prep will dictate more reaction that tip of cover.

That's right. I sait it!

I responded in another topic to this same question.  But, go with the Black Ice by Ebonite.  Compared to the Vibe, gets down the lane similar to the Vibe with a little smoother backend off the dry, which translates to more control on drier conditions.
