My Ebonite Total NV cracked in my truck from the cold...need a new ball
« on: January 14, 2011, 06:09:15 AM »
Any suggestions? 
 
I bowl in a golf/bowl league 10 weeks a year.  And a few individual games a year more.

I had bought the NV a couple years ago.  In all honesty, I forgot it was in my truck and we had some very cold weather.  I go get it out and sure enough, its cracked about 12 inches off the ring finger hole.  Was very depressing, my local "pro" said it was junk.  Sickening.
 
Anyway, our lane conditions are kind of heavy in our league.   I would like to not spend a ton of money ( under $150 is possible ) and I would like a ball that has a lot of back end hook and hooks hard.  
 
 I will say, my high game ever is 266, high series is 715.   I also bowl around 190-200 most of the time, nothing great.  And use a 14# ball.  If any of this info would help any suggestions. 
 
 
Thanks for any help on this!
 
John

Agree with Reign of Fire.  Might see if you can find a used one on ebay as a possibility too.

check into getting a TRACK 505T   --- very good ball that can handle oil, hits like a tank and is moderately priced. i can get it here drilled with grips and slug for about 150.  thats what i would suggest.

Agree with Rein of Fire, it is a solid. But if you like a pearl try the Rein, it has a very hard back end.

You cant go wrong with either and both are mid range in price.

I just got a Brunswick Damage for Christmas and had it drilled with the pin to the right below the ring finger for Dry to Medium.  Didn't think it was gonna hook too much but it seems to be out performing my Jigsaw Corner, which probably needs to be resurfaced.  Not too expensive either.  Around 140 including drilling
