I was thinking about an Eraser PP, since they are pretty cheap, but I have no idea about it, since I've never seen anyone use it. Like I said, something along those lines, mid-performance.
I am also not partial to any company, so it doesn't matter who makes it.
Thanks for any help...

Spend the extra 50 and get an inferno.

I'd love to have an inferno, but the cost is what's throwing me off...
I have too much speed to get a groove, especially since i play the outside of a condition that's either a reverse block or a big OOB...
Oh, i suped up my smashr for light medium mix...

The smashr has a short pin on it, so I can't do what i want to do, have a pin over ring ball. I'm not very familiar with the silver streak line, though...
I'd prefer to get a pearlized ball.
MI 2 AZ, do you have stuff for sale by chance?
But the thing is, you really can't know who is trying to pull something on you...i mean it's a little suspicious to have 50 people with "less than 6 games" equipment they don't want...and some charge enough i might as well just get a cheap new ball...--------------------

I really like the reaction but i know i can get more value out of it by getting rid of it. It has a span of about 4 5/8 - 4 3/4. I would sell it for the right offer but i think i may just move the thumb. If anybody is interested then let me know but don't bother if you want the typical low ball.

I don't know why so many people want to buy more equipment when their bowling style does not improve to the level of their equipment.
Are we so ego driven that we feel that the lessons are beneath us?
I admit that I buy a lot of bowling balls. Not to have them but for testing purposes.
I do however take lessons and videotape myself bowling. I continue to work on improving my game.
I can take just about any ball and make it work on just about any condition. Not that the ball will be the best ball but I can make it work when I need to.

Doc, what is it that you're testing them for?
ak57, the Smash/R is not a light oil ball. I don't see why you can't set it up to handle medium oil just fine.
That said, the Eraser PP looks like a good ball. Wouldn't mind trying one myself!

I would get lessons, but the sad thing is is that bowling is a laugh here, the only person i could get lessons from is the pro shop owner, and he doesn't even come around more than once a week and besides, he probably wouldn't help much
I've actually been doing better by myself than people "helping" me. The "coachs" they have at league keep trying to get me to do what they want, not what i'm good at, but their idiots, and so i don't listen to them.
Overall, i'm gonna try redrilling my diesel, stacked pin over ring, i haven't been using it much since it's used, and my hand is getting bigger. Hopefully that will help.
I dislike our house, it's impossible to judge. I've seen someone crank a fear factor with really high revs at 13 mph, hooking half of the lane, implying heavy oil, but i've also seen some one hook a tornado at 13 mph with almost no revs or anything, covering 20 boards....i just don't get it sometimes.

Also, everyone who helps me is trying to convert me to a pure stroker, but I'm more of a tweener by nature, and I don't like that. Of course, now I can play like that, but my A game is being a tweener. You can't argue with that. I've seen countless people on here saying that people shouldn't force you to do what they want. And you shouldn't assume that you know the "coach" at my league unless you bowl here. Like i said, i don't think he's a registered coach. And how do you know he's "steering me in the right direction" if he doesn't even know my name?!? Like i said, he doesn't know me, he just goes lane to lane talking about stuff.
Anyways, I went bowling with BK yesterday, and found out my #1 problem....I'm getting backspin on the ball. Does anyone know what this is the result of, and how to correct it?

You just found out you put backspin on the ball, but you know for a fact that you're naturally a tweener and you bowl on a reverse block???? I'll have to bite my tongue before I say something that will get me banned.

And wtf does backspin having to do with me knowing how i release the ball, ie stroker, cranker, tweener? Could you explain that to me exactly? If you're just gonna be a cynical @ss hole, don't bother replying and posting useless comments.

I also think i might be cupping my wrist too long though, which could cause it. I'll try and work things out in practice tommorrow.

Yeah, i tend to loft it sometimes, i've been trying to cut down on that. And I'll work on my follow through.
Thanks King.

Well, in June, I'll be testing my "skill" in our state junior tournament.
I pretty much base my game off of spares. I'd rather be consistent at shooting spares than get one turkey and a bunch of opens...

That would be so awesome to have revs like tommy or robert and still be accurate, but that's why they're on tour. I'd love to have a release like Chris Barnes.

And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.
