Need New A Ball
« on: July 11, 2007, 07:11:14 AM »
I have been out the game for a min and just started back bowling again. Within my house the shot has change and my current balls aren't finishing..  I am strong cranker and can shoot different shots but right now the backend in my house is very suspect.  I need a ball that will start setting up early instead of depending on the dry boards to run back.  

Normally I use Freakout and Icon but know of these balls are working with this new bs shot...  I even changed the surface of the ball to make them more aggressive and still can't find a constant breaking point and they all seem to be coming to the pocket late..  

I don't want to change my game but just find a ball that will help me with this current problem.... Moving my feet isn't a problem just need a ball that starts turning to the packet alittle early..  

Any ideas on this new balls they have out...

Basically you are describing a Brunswick ball, just try a midline ball with the BVP coverstock, they are cheap and hit hard and start early.

I for one don't set the ball at the line, so early is my enemy.

I would agree with Hack. Look into the BVP line from Brunswick. Great line of bowling balls and not really expensive.

To second the other posts - look at a BVP Sidewinder. A light load particle ball, versatile piece with a rolly core. The surface leaves room for polish as well as sanding from OOB condition to match your needs, and check out an early rolling layout like 2E in the drill charts:

Given your current equipment, most of modern "medium-heavy" oil stuff is in your wheelhouse.

I agree, a BVP Sidewinder would be a good deal.  Light-load pearl/solid hybrid with the Rocket core.

Also, if you want something really rolly, go with something MoRich or Lane #1.  Mo's stuff has a very strong core, and the covers are Brunswick cover variants.  Depending on how strong you want, an Awesome Revs might be a good bet - Vanguard core with a pearl particle cover.  As far as Lane #1 (and I know I'm gonna get yelled at by the Sawheads for his one)...they've great, really strong, rolly cores...but that's about it.  Versatility is rare in Lane #1 equipment due to the strength of the cores.
