What ball has a great back end response but is cheap?
« on: March 12, 2007, 08:41:42 AM »
I just wanted to know of any good suggestions of a ball that has a good length, and violent back end response in medium oil. Also at a decent price. I was thinking of Ebonites Black Ice or Circles Hard core, but not quite sure

I guess it depend on what cheap is to you. I personally like the Track Machine.  It has descent length and a strong back end. Can get it on bowling.com for $95, perhaps less somewhere else. Or you could get it used from someone on this site. I also like the Rule. Can get that one a bit cheaper.

another vote for the t-road pearl.  It completely ignores carrydown.  The backend is phenomenal even with the weaker drill. I paid $99 for mine so the price was right.

From what I've seen, the Roto Grip Saturn is a good ball at a really good price

If your really wanting one cheap, get a hold of a Power Groove Blue sanded urethane ball. I have mine with a short pin and drilled to roll early, amazing hit for such an inexpensive ball. Though many are recomending mid priced balls you said cheap, this is it. You can polish or sand as needed. I left mine in box condition and works well on medium condition for my league bowling.

Somehow I second that. A friend of mine got one as a spare ball and for dry lanes - but it hooks like crazy, almost as much as his Rampage. Just a smoother overall hook shape, but surprisingly strong (and cheap). Just what I said: the (Power) Grooves are widely underestimated!

Track Equation drilled strong.  Great backend and great hit.

Track Equation.....strong backend movement and extraordinary hitting power.

Radical Infernos can be had pretty cheap these days as well.

An awful lot of cheaper balls will do what you're looking for, I'm sure.  I have and AMF Orbit Extreme that is drilled to do exactly that, and it does it very, very well!
