Title: POWER STROKERS ......
Post by: Nodsleinad on August 28, 2003, 06:57:20 PM
If you were limited to using "TWO" balls this year and one was a plastic spare ball, (Possibly a Mr. Snuffy for Siniak, ), what would the other one be?.   It does not have to be a new model, it could be an oldy but goody.  

I am leaning towards my Vicious but am considering buying an Inferno.

An Inferno would be a decent choice. Without throwing one though, I couldn't commit to it being my 1 ball.

Personally on a THS I would stick with my Voodoo. I can hit it with some surface on oilier nights, and I can be sure it's going to be a consistant reaction.

The power of a solid resin seems to be underrated these days.

I'd like to try an Inferno or a Turbo Diesel. Haven't tried either but from the specs and the reviews I've read they both sound like balls you could use on more than one condition.

If I had to go with something I knew would work, I'd pick my timberwolf pearl. I don't mind playing the pointing game on heavier oil and it's a lot easier to control on dry/rundown conditions compared to my diesel.

Btw, could you make that plastic ball a mr. snuffy? I've always wanted one of those

I would probably stick with my Smash/R. Although in it's current state it needs some dry, if I altered the surface a bit, it would be pretty useful on most conditions.

An X-Factor and an Ebonite Illusion, forget the plastic

But if I had to have plastic as one, i'd say either the Track Threat or Lane Master's Extreme Impact.

My choice would be my pearl 3D offset hammer (fabal) drilled 45 degrees on axis and columbia blue dot.

If I had to be stuck with one ball out of my current arsenal it would be my Thrash. I can cover any condition with it except alot of oil....and I think a quick 600-800grit sanding would take care of that.

Hmm, probably my Time Zone.  Don't know how versatile it is, really, but it's my most controllable, and the one I feel the most comfortable with.

Post by: srlunatic on August 31, 2003, 01:43:51 AM
would consider between...

Columbia WOW Pearl

Track Crunch

Both extremely versitile......coverstock easy to manipulate.....and both hit like a ton and won't dent the wallet much at all....

Of the balls I currently own, I'd probably go with the Pro Purple.  If I was buying a new ball for a one-ball league, it would be either the new Cranberry Buzzsaw or a V2 solid.

I would say right now, it's my Retro Blue Roto. Pin 4.5 from my PAP. Pin under ring finger. I can play the crack to 5th arrow depending on lane condition. This ball played well for me in the Storm Challenge in Knoxville.

I looked over the list of balls I have and found this question difficult to answer. I've always taking three balls to my competition .. now if I had only one to depend on would make it tough.

A lot will disagree with me but I find the EBONITE RED SPARKLE PREDATOR a favorite of mine!

Question:  You're using the Colussus Supreme for all conditions???  That's a lot of ball.


I'd probably scuff the polish off my Ebonite Matrix Dynasty and give it a whirl.  That or I'd use my Shock Zone.

Yes i can use the Supreme on most of the conditions that i run in to thru hand positions and ball speed.Remember this was a two ball question. When they get to burnt up i would move right and use the plastic.
FYI
 All i use is MoRich stuff and have great success with them.
My balldriller has my new OnSlaught and will be drilling this the first week of Sept.

Glen, when I first saw the core of the Onslaught I thought awesome...and I thought it looked alot like the Track Phenom core. Well, I just drilled a Phenom for a friend of mine, and he had Mo Pinel drill an Onslaught for him. There is no comparison. The Onslaught seemed like a dud. I guess I expected too much out it. It does not seem to be half of the ball that they Hercules is. Atleast for him it isn't.

Excaliber,
Well like i have said before, not every ball is for everyone. My driller who is Randy Harvey and a member of the senior tour seems to think that this ball will if into my arsenal just fine. I have put a lot trust in his choices so far and have not been disappointed yet.
I will have to let you know what happens after i try it out.

Colossus Pearl for me. Keep it shined up for "league" conditions, higher polish or more speed for shorter patterns and dull it to 320 for heavier/longer patterns. Mine is drilled 4 x 3 leverage and it works great so far on a couple of different shots. Second choice would be Pioneer, except heavy oil it wouldnt move unless I threw it 12mph.

Probably my new Blade Pearl I've been able to play oil and dry!

2nd choice and I use more often because of oil I see my EZ Money.

Post by: Zman on September 07, 2003, 05:54:32 PM
Columbia Reaction Arc. This ball has not died. I've had it resurfaced 4 times,
polished,  had the polish taken back off.
Best ball I've had in the last 2 years for a THS.
5 x 5 drill pin just above and slightly right of the ring finger.

But that's for me on anything from a medium-heavy to a light oil shot on wood lanes.
