I am needing some advice for a ball? What ball do you think would be good for a heavy carry down? HELP!!

slick slick slick

Sounds like the pattern I played on last night. Long flat heavy pattern with carrydown. I was using a V2 Particle dulled to 600 grit. That seemed to work pretty well. The key to heavy oil and carrydown is you need to get the ball into a roll before it hits the carrydown so it will essentially roll through the carrydown. My best advice would be to take a good med/heavy load particle that will grab a bit in the heads and begin to roll through the carrydown. Also, if you change your release a bit and come up the back of the ball more creating forward roll, that will get the ball to roll early and evenly. Also, on a side note, you WILL NOT be able to play a swing shot on this pattern. Play a direct line, like somewhere straight up the boards between 10-15 depending on your rev rate and speed. Good Luck.

On edit, I noticed in your profile that you have a WOW. Try to scuff it up a bit with a green scotch brite pad and throw the ball coming up the back of it. That may work for you.
