What ball for Medium-Medium Light Conditions?
« on: March 19, 2006, 12:31:19 PM »
After this bowling season, I will be converting to lefty. I think I throw around 14-15 mph with alot of hand. I can play deep or I can play down and in. I know lefties seem to excel with Hammer and Ebonite. What ball would you recommend? I was thinking any of these:

Columbia: Scout Hi Flare Urethane, Super Trooper,
Storm: Hotrod Hybrid, Fired Up
Track: Desert Heat, Heat Blast
Amf: Venom (Particle Pearl)
Roto Grip: Saturn
Ebonite: The One (More Heavier Medium I know), Puma, Black Ice
Dynothane: Vendetta Solid Reactive, Crisis Pearl, Element ZR40

Why is the Scout Urethane up there?

I would go with the Saturn.

Because the Hi-Flare Urethane Scout matches up better with true dry lanes than a Saturn ever would.  Urethane simply reads the lanes that much different than reactive urethane does.

Lol... I have those balls listed because I can hook a house ball over the middle of the lane or play down and in with it. The Scout Hi Flare Urethane is more for medium-light and not dry. It hooks and it hits hard. I like the balls I mentioned, but Im not sure what I should go with.

If you have money to spend: MoRich Sahara. A Brunswick Punisher on steroids and a killer on medium to medium-dry conditions, as well as for late shifts.
The Hot Rod Hybrid from Storm is another, tamer and cheaper alternative I can recommend.

light medium oil ball I recommend is the Super trooper.  The core is designed to have a smooth arc as it does.  Reads off the dry well and after 400+ games not even a hint of weary out. I left the ball in box condition for quite some time until me speed has increased and have since dulled the cover giving a bit more read from the midlane.

Lol.. Thanks to EVERYONES diffrent answer... Keep them coming. Im almost not sure still, but Im starting to lean toward a decision. When I bowled right handed my favorite ball had to be the Hotrod Hybrid (Out of the lot I owned lol). I have ALWAYS wanted to get a Dynothane ball. Ive been told the Vendetta Solid Reactive is great. At the same time, right now Im really leaning toward the Saturn. Hank Boomershine (President) at Roto Grip has got to be one of the best, if not the best when it comes to his Customers. I talked to him about a problem with a ball that my friend has got and hes going to replace it for him. No questions even asked. Seeing this and talking to Hank, I almost am sure I want to go with the Saturn for the simple fact I know if I have problems with Roto Grip, then Hank will help me out for sure.

Lol... I was thinking Tornado. The only one I ever really liked was the Tornado Tps. Now discontinued. Lol, I still have a good month to think about it.

You should check out the InSite Second Coming (http://www.insitebowlingproducts.com/secondcoming.html).  I use two different Second Comings (check my profile) and really get a great reaction from both.  At $120 (including shipping) the Second Coming is a great deal!  There are videos on the website of me and Mark Russo throwing the Second Coming (http://www.insitebowlingproducts.com/videos.html), if you care to have a look.  The conditions we were throwing the balls on was a medium THS with carrydown.
