Full roller?
« on: February 20, 2007, 05:43:26 PM »
Anybody any idea which current ball (any manufacturer) is considered to be a good ball for a full roller?

I know that any ball could be drilled for a full roller, but is there any ball that's considered to be the best in this role?

My friend had been struggling for a while with a much older ball, at least it was struggling for him with a 220ish average.  Beat the heck out of the pocket and just couldn't get anything going consistantly.  Went to my friendly pro shop and we talked about it.  He drilled a Columbia Action Attack, which the pro shop operator had suggested as a good ball for a full roller based on what he had reported to him by other customers bowling on synthetics and wood lanes.  My friend is extremely happy with the ball and shot his highest series ever with it.  We bowl on HPL synthetics and the ball does very well on that surface.  Another friend also a full roller has been doing well for a while now with a Hammer Hawg Wild on the same HPL lanes.  Hope this helps a little.

I am a full roller.  I used to bowl with a columbia messenger tec, but encountered someheavy oil.  I needed something new.  I went with the Big one.  Originally got it drilled with pin by thumb.  This didn't work for me.  I eventually got it plugged and redrilled with a reverse block.  Now, it works great.  I have also since bought a black widow which I also had drilled like the big one.  They work great for me.  I went and worked with my pro shop to get the drilling right, and once we got it, it works great.  I have also thrown a no mercy and it also works well.
