I just want to share a story with y'all....
« on: August 30, 2003, 11:42:37 AM »
Well tonight I went bowling and I couldn't get any of my balls to react right and was ending up with 160's or 170's so my buddy says you could prolly do better with a house ball. Well I decided it wouldn't hurt any so I grabbed a decent looking house ball which was a LT-48 gold(Our house balls consist of peoples old balls the don't want anymore). Anyways I started throwing it and was amazed that I could get a good strike with it and another after that. Finished the first game with 202. My buddy then bet me $10 that I couldn't shoot two more 200 games with it. I shot 206 the next game and 242 after that. I can't believe anyone would want to give a ball like this up for a house ball. Oh well maybe I can get it with the $10 I won from that bet. Well thanks for reading my loving story and good bowling.

The LT-48 gold is yet another ball with one of the most prolific coverstocks ever made.... PowerKoil 18.

If you really want to buy a ball similar to it but cant find the LT-48 gold here are a few other chices very similar, all with the PK18:

Lane#1 BlueBerry (Discontinued, but a pretty easy find for now)

Brunswick Monster Bruiser

Neo-Tac Khameleon

All of them have pretty tame cores like the LT gold & PK18.

Here is a story similiar to what you experienced. A local bowler started leagued and the shot at the house he went to (they changed the shot over the summer). This happened 3 years ago. He could get no reaction from any of his reactive or particles. He went on the hunt for a house ball, he found a Manhattan Rubber that fit him perfectly. He shot 3 300 games with that ball over the period of month. What was really funny, the owner of the center would not let him have the ball.

bones

The old relics I have consist of a blue pirahna/c and a Track Silencer. I have used a few house balls though---blue amf angle---manhattan rubber---and LT48. When the lanes have been too dry for anything else these have worked. I hope to have found a ball to fit the bill when these guys would normally have been needed. The BuzzsawXXXL should do that just nicely
