suggestions on ball choices, please ?
« on: August 23, 2011, 06:55:34 AM »
my current arsenal  ------Columbia - outburst ---- Track - 916at and power machine ----- Ebonite - Gamebreaker  ---------- the power machine is being retired. i may also sell the 916 im not sure yet?   --------- im looking at getting 2 balls  one for heavier volumes and one for medium ---my heavier volume choices are the Roto Grip - critical theory  or Columbia ransom demand   ------  for medium  im looking at the Columbia - Eruption  or Roto Grip - rising star or Storm - victory road pearl.  the question is i seem to match up better with symmetrical balls better,  but i did throw the critical at a demo and it seemed to roll pretty good.  im am mainly a down and in player, with more speed, less hand. are these good choices or should i be looking at something else????

Im  not going to say that if the Critical Theory rolled good at a demo day then you need it, because I have personally done that myself and gotten nowhere near the results as a demo ball gave me. Im not gonna say the balls are loaded or whatnot but I guess you never know,etc.

 

I will say however, that the Victory Road Pearl may be one of the top 5 best balls that I have ever thrown hands down! Folls so good on anything other than soap, because it gets through the heads so nice and makes such a strong move off the spot. I dont know your style or whatnot but I would go with the Victory Road, because everyone needs that ball in the bag. John

for heavy, Nano gravity storm or Raptor P7 Solid.

 

For medium Victory road pearl is the most aggressive,  next rising star rotogrip.

i was debating between the Eruption and the Rising Star, but my pro shop advised me to go with the Eruption, better for my style. i did throw the R/S  at a demo and i did like the reaction i got, but the lanes were pretty dry. i have not be able to throw the Eruption yet, so i am going on advice.
