I'm just getting back into bowling after a break and I haven't really kept up to date on ball technology. Any one have a new ball recommendation for a low rev full roller bowling on a medium oiled THS? Thanks.

I've upped my average, so up yours!

Perhaps a Storm Crossroad or a Victory road would do the trick!,

Maybe one of Brunswick's Karmas.

I agree with Dizzy, the Blue Karma is something special for the price.

The Reckless is a good benchmark ball too

The Blue/Black Karma solid would be a great choice!

Elevate, 508a, and too reckless are the best all around balls I've seen in a while. And I'm not on any staff

+ 1 to deadwood the 508A is sooo good its a house shot killer it paid for itself in brackets in 3 weeks lol great ball.

As Deadwood said, those are great balls. Look also to possible clearance items if pennies need pinching like

- Reign Supreme

- Brunswick Damage series

- Roto Grip Nomad series

I am not a pro-bowler, but I do play one on BallReviews.com

bowling.com has the Storm HyRoad for $114.95 delivered. It's a great ball. -- JohnP

I would recommend the Track 607A. Out of everything that I have ever thrown, this is the most versatile ball that I have ever seen covering from medium-dry to medium-heavy house shots and it holds it's own on the tougher shots as well. Also takes surface changes easily, which is a bonus.

Roto Grip Shooting Star is by far the most hook for your $$$

Throwing what works, which seems to be Roto and Motiv...

Jock.......Just buy something that LOOKS GOOD. Throwing a fullroller pretty well limits your reactions. Just make sure your driller knows how to set up a ball for a "fullroller"
