I need some help weeding out balls
« on: April 16, 2004, 11:40:46 PM »
Okay everybody, I have all my equipment listed in my profile.  I tried to describe myself as best I could and provide information on my bowling balls.  I think I have balls that seriously overlap in ways and am looking to trim out the fat so to speak so I could have a nice 4-5 ball arsenal.  I will be getting a chrome/yellow power groove early next week, I'm hoping to put a 5 inch pin to PAP, 75 degree layout on it to sort of fill a void.

Thanks, and let me know what you guys think.

PS - I won't be able to answer any question anyone has until tomorrow.

I'll be all set once I figure out how to get this ball to throw itself.

BTW - The Dynasty is in major need of an oil change and resurface...

Surely someone can help a fellow bowler out?

Keep 'em all, divide them into two lots of 4 and just switch bags when one lot of 4 starts to brown you off.

I looked at your list, but didn't know enough about some of the balls to make a good judgement.  Like many people, you don't have a lot of variety.

Element - med/heavy
Core Power LRG - med+
Ultra Hot - med to med/light
Prime Time - ?
Matrix Dynasty - med/light
Danger Zone - med+

The Element should handle the most oil, so I'd keep it.  The LRG and Danger Zone should overlap, so I'd lose one of those.  Same with the Ultra Hot and Dynasty.  Power Groove will be snappier, so it could give a different look than the UH/Dynasty.  Since the Power Groove is pearl, I'd lean towards keeping the solid Ultra Hot.  I haven't seen a Prime Time, but I've read good things about it on here.

Thanks Strider.  
I recently made the decision to get the Dynasty's thumb redrilled and I'm sort of regretting it.  I probably should have just gotten rid of it rather than putting more money into it.  If I keep the UH I might want to see about it's static weight.  It has a short pin out and the cg is maybe an inch under my ring finger.  Might need to drill the ring finger hole deeper.  

The Prime  Time is quite condition specific the way I have it now.  I may need to polish it to get more length out of it.  I like it, but like you said, I have a lot of overlap.  Even in my layouts I have a lot of 3-4 inch pin to PAP measurements.

You didn't list your span.

hmm...  I didn't really think span had much to do with what I was asking, but it's on my profile now.
