new ball advice
« on: December 21, 2012, 05:37:25 PM »
Having issues getting my current stuff to hook on the heavier oil i have been seeing, wondering what might be a good ball for a 15 - 16mph tweener with average revs. Normally standing 25 -35 throwing out to about 10 at the arrows.
Currently throwing:
Azo pro tactics
Storm 2furious and frantic
Columbia rev

Not really enough information to make an appropriate recommendation...

If it's really heavy oil something like an IQ or Vivid should be the right direction to look since the only solid you have is the mid-level 2Furious.

Square up.
it would be easier to move your feet right some and still use the same target.

track 912t is a heavy oil piece, rolls early and continuous
Ebonite challenge is a nice strong, even arcing symmetric piece

trying different surface on your current balls may help a little

Unless it's oil soaked or still highly polished, hard to believe the Rev can't handle a good deal of oil. It's a low RG, particle solid with a large differential. Just add some surface with a Scotch-Brite pad, so as not to sand the particles smooth.

It's fun that Charliest mentioned the Rev as that is what I went to the last game and got my best look at the pocket.
Thanks for the comments, and one of the issues I have squaring up is I start leaving a lot of 10 pins.

Well if you're leaving ten pins, you are pretty much lined up.
