Ball Recomendation
« on: February 21, 2007, 01:02:19 AM »
In an attempt to get some newer equipment out on the lanes in our house, I'm trying to set up a few of our top average bowlers.  The guy I'm working with right now throws the ball 17-18 mph and has a rev rate around 350.  He comes around the side a fair amount (guessing 65-70 degrees rotation), but has a fairly high track (within an inch to an inch and a half of fingers/thumb...so not too much tilt).  

The problem is the ball selection and layout.  I want something new (high-end) that the other league bowlers will see and say, "WOW, this ball rolls great, I want one."  The problem is that in our house the shot is light oil (HPL synthetics...believe it is buffed to 36').  I suspect most new high-end equipment may be just too aggressive...  Currently this bowler throws a blue urethane hammer...  Is there anything current that he would be able to control with the proper layout and surface on these types of conditions?

You could maybe look into a Equation or even the Equation2, also maybe the RXS300.

I would say the Equation 2. I think the Equation and RSX300 would be too much for a light oil shot. Another good looking new bowling ball that would work on light oil is the Roto Grip Neptune.
