New fall aresonal set up.
« on: July 18, 2004, 10:37:23 PM »
Ok, basically the deal is I want a 4 ball aresonal, including a spare ball. I have a plastic ball to have plugged and redrilled, so I need suggestions for the rest of it. In the bag right now is a Triple X Factor, box finish, a Monster Bruiser, polished, and a Monster Slay/R, sanded to 800 with a green scotch brite pad. I want to replace the Bruiser and Slay/R, so I need a Medium oil ball, and a light oil ball. I dont want to have any brunswick, EXCEPT I was thinking about the grooves, not sure though. So anyways, besides power grooves, what would be good medium and light oil balls? I prefer skid/snap.

my vote for a nice 4 ball arsenal woiuld consist of:

plastic or pearl urethane for spares
pearl resin for most conditions with good backends
dull resin or pearl particle for medium heavy
pearl particle maxxed out or dull particle for heavy

Suggestions could be:
pearl resin....Inferno, Uranium, Sling Blade, Throttle/R, XXX Factor
dull resin....Monster SmashR, full throttle, Deuce, XXX Xtreme, Ultimate Inferno, V-2
pearl particle...Thrash, Eraser Pearl Particle, Big Blue Pearl, GOlden Nugget
dull particle...Animal, Big Blue, Throttle, Super Carbide, Fear Factor

Not a complete list but I just rattled off some popular balls.

I think Doug has the best idea here actually. I think what I'll do is get a new spare ball (its as cheap to buy one as it is to have it plugged and redrilled), then polish my triple x. As for the other two, I'd say the Charcoal Executioner for particle, and then something for the particle pearl. Looking to get things as cheap as possible.

Heavy - Triple Xtreme or Phenom Unleashed
Med/Hvy to Med - XXX Factor
Med to Med/Lt - Sonic Boom
Spare

Adjust covers as necessary.

granite gargoyle would be a very good choice, the cover is very versatile and durable, although it does show dirt much more since it is grey. that can be veiwed as a good thing also though. the ball can cover a wide variety of lane conditions, and can be a very formidable heavy oiler

Well, since you need one for medium-heavy oil, I'd say the BBP or golden nugget.  Maybe the vicious attack, but I don't know how strong it is.

the bbp isnt bad, but the pin is a little long on it. the vicious attack was not a very popular ball in my area, so i cant comment on that. and the golden nugget was hit or miss, i dont really think it would work well on heavy patterns.

nothing new, but check out the used section. at least then i might not even have to give him any cash. The green gargoyle looks like the span is pretty small, and I may not have to redrill it.
