Title: Noooo! An arsenal updating question! Run!!
Post by: a_ak57 on April 10, 2004, 07:02:00 AM
Ok, like in my profile, I have:

15# Diesel Particle (heavy)  
14# Monster SmashR  (medium)
13# Target Zone  (spare)

Ok, I don't really use the zone since it's so light.  Now, with the Smashr, I'm throwing it wicked fast due to the light weight, and it doesn't react much at all anymore.  Sooo....should I get a 15# SmashR to replace it for medium, or buy a Bruisr and dull it with a scotch brite pad (or leave it in box), since the SmashR is being discontinued?  Also, think I should get a Slayr, or a Silver Streak Pearl for light oil lanes?  I saw BK25's SlayR, and I must say, I like that ball, but I haven't seen anyone use the SSP.  I'm keeping the DP for heavy, since that is fine.  And I'm getting a new spare ball.

So, in all, here is what a new arsenal would look like:

Heavy:  Diesel Particle
Medium:  SmashR OR Bruisr
Light:  Slayr OR SSP
Spare:  Spare ball

Any help?

I say go with the bruiser instead of a new smashR.  The old quantum blocks are better than the discontinued monsters.  Bruiser is a good ball.  Haven't seen many SSP's but i reccomnend the SlayR for dry lanes, good at what it's made for.

I never saw the Smash/R work all that great around here.  Bruiser looks like a sweet ball.  Even thought of getting one myself.  But, either would be good; let your wallet decide.  SS Pearl is way too much for light oil.  Much better off with the Slay/R, V2 Dry, Barbed Wire, Barrage, Sonic X...

Hah, I'll have 1/2 of BK25's arsenal then.  Ok, well I'll probably get a bruisr/slayr combo, and try to get a spare ball.
