What's your favorite dry lane ball?
« on: October 17, 2009, 07:10:49 AM »
I currently have a Cell, V2 solid, and Freeze.  Got the Freeze thinking it will be a notch below the V2 but I was wrong.  It's a fantastic ball but not a dry lane ball, at least not in my hand.  I use it on fresh right out of the gate.

The condition is THS, 41ft, medium volume.  By game 3, midlane is pretty toasted so can't use the V2 much.  Cell almost never comes out of the bag on THS.
Thinking about Razyr, Tornado, Tropical.  Thing is I'm worried that the Tornado and Tropical might be still too strong for me.
I'm open to any brand.

JessN16, how bout a Columbia 300 Blue Knight?  Where would you see that fitting in w/today''s conditions?  I have one a little nicked up w/my old span.

Blue Knight was urethane. I forget what kind of core it had. That was the second ball I ever owned (first was a Black Beauty). I'd say it would probably be somewhere along the lines of a Groove or AMF's Angle remake. Depends on how beat up and oil-soaked the cover is, I guess.

My favorite dry lane ball is the Neptune but I am working in a Natural and that ball will probably be the one I turn to when the backends are toast.  Both balls store their energy when plowing through the pindeck.
