I finally did it!!
« on: May 10, 2004, 01:36:38 AM »
....Yes, got your attention.

Now, what would be a good medium oil replacement for my smashr?  it's lighter than what I use now, so I need a replacement.  Not to mention it has hundreds of games.  So, can someone give me a good idea of what I should get?  I have info in my profile.....

BTW, I want it to be from any company, since I'm unbiased.

I was thinking like a Retro Resurrection, or something from Storm, I'm not familiar with them.

If you have a Thing Returns (your profile says you do) for medium/light, then I'd get a Thing for the medium/medium-heavy.

Well, the SS solid was first on my list, but it is discontinued, so I don't know how readily I can get it.

I would suggest a Lane #1, the XXL, or the Emerald Pearl, or the Cranberry Buzzsaw.  I have a couple of their products, and I love them.  I know they are pricy, but well worth it.  All of my resin balls will be Lane #1's.

Good luck!

Wow, I guess I really underestimate myself, since most suggestions are pearls....Here I was thinkin I would need a solid reactive or a particle pearl...Well, the search continues.

HB, don't worry about him, he comes up again, I'll threaten his manlihood...

Why don't you just replace it with another SmashR?

Well, it's discontinued, and by the time I actually save my money, there will probably be none left.  Don't get me wrong, that was what I was thinking of first, but this is just in case.

Besides, I'd like to try something new.  Who doesn't?

Gotcha.. I have a SmashR myself, and am about to pick up a SlayR for the drier conditions but I was thinking about getting something new for medium too.. Hmm, a friend recommended a Columbia Detour..

Detour huh?  Hmm....I've never been much of a columbia fan, but if it works, who cares?

AK - what would you say the length of the break point is on your Smash/R when you're bowling on (in your book) medium oil?

I'm asking because Brunswick stuff seems to be a bit earlier than most other companies' equivalents (yes, I know that is a broad generalization).  So if you're happy with the break point of your Smash/R -and assuming that you haven't polished its surface to a mirror or have some very early layout like pin-on-pap, you may want to consider a lower-RG or particle pearl when looking at companies' equipment.

Personally, I've been very pleased with the all-around performance of Storm's Razor Wire, and it didn't set me back much ca$h.
