Sorry, but the whole idea of your post is stupid.  As stated and agreed with, one ball is garbage in one guy's hand and gold in another's.  Who cares what some magazine calls BOY?  Just means they got more ad dollars from that company.

long gone daddy. the whole point of the topic isnt to argue who is right and who is wrong. it is simply to talk about what current balls of 2012 has had the most success for bowlers. if you dont want to have a legitimate conversation with other bowlers on why they believe the ball they mentioned has a chance to run for the title "ball of year", then dont say anything and go argue about politics or something..

My prediction for PBA ball of the year (or, more accurately, the coming season) is the Storm IQ Tour.

'Round these parts, the house bowler ball of the year has to be the Track 508A. I see quite a few of these being thrown and mostly with pretty good success. From what I can see first-hand, the next contender for this would be the new Violent Eruption. This ball seems to roll great for any type of house bowler, and I am seeing quite a few of these being drilled up.

I will have to get you the exact specs. as soon as i get them I will post them here. But what I can tell you is the Berserk is a very smooth rolling ball, strong arch that continues through the pins, and very good carry. It is pretty much my new go to ball. You cant go wrong, its a winner!

motiv 2 creul   i had a 233 and 300 the first night i used it hopeing the motiv scream will be even better

"The Classic U2" - Give a big congrats to Columbia 300 for bringing this ball back.

What's a good layout for the 508A for a THS?

Thanks

Honestly, it would all be related to your PAP, ball speed, etc. Your pro shop guy can give you the best advice.

I prefer pin up drillings and usually 5x5 layouts. I am not an expert on the layouts so I can't give angles or other info. In any case, that is how my 508A is laid out and it works on my house shots in my area. I also keep mine at 3000 grit. Your results may differ.
