Well it’s that time of year when I receive all of the winnings from the different leagues I bowl in and I’ve decided to change out the “old†balls. I’ve been to every web site, read dozens of reviews, and listen to other suggestions and it seems no one can agree on which type (brand) of ball is better. So…, here are my picks (reserve the right to make changes)
Profile:
Left-handed tweener
Speed: 17 mph at pins
Revs: 16
RPM''s 255
Average: 216
Horz: 5 5/8, Left
Vert: None
Replacing the Wrap Zone with the Storm Vertigo. Drilling will be a controlled drilling for early rolling. Using on heavy oil patterns with minimal backend.
Replacing the Lane1 with the Storm Atomic Charge. Will use on medium to med/hvy with some carrydown. Drill will be similar to the lane1.
Replacing the Too Hot with the Storm Hybrid. Will use on medium to med/light conditions. Drill will be the same as the Too Hot. I really like this drilling.
Last but not least is the plastic ball but I’m not changing that.
I was leaning towards the Shock & Awe but thought the Hybrid would give me the same long/snap movement. The diff was higher than I was looking for but does anyone think I could go with the Shock & Awe?
I will use these in leagues and also in tournaments.
I know some will say that most of these are “strong†but with my speed I can overcome allot of conditions. I’ve got pretty good control of three different releases and only struggle when the patterns are flat and long.
So please give me your feedback.
And thanks in advance.
Robert
