summer ball league what would you like to get
« on: May 14, 2009, 11:07:13 PM »
well its that time of year again and because so many of you have so mant different experiences I thought i would get your imput ,if you dont mind on what balls you might be able to recommend.
   I presently own ...
   In the bag...virtual gravity @ 1000,nvd polished,magic @2000,mean machine ,rising,and a spare ball.
    In my possesion...cell,toxic,gravity shift,odyssey,wmb,(hated it).
    I am thinking rogue cell or mega friction and hy-road.I have had and sold the sauce and t-road solid.

You have WAY too many strong balls - pick up something for medium to med/light.

Considering what you've already got in your bag, get the Hy-road and drill it weak!

Sounds to me like you get your user name from using too strong of equipment. Just would be my guess. I would go with something weaker. Out of those 3 I would say HyRoad but if it was me I might even go a touch weaker.

Do you bowling any tournaments at all, or just league.  Because if you're just bowling league, you should get rid of about 5 balls and don't go any stronger than say a One Pearl or Hyroad.  I mean just look at what you have already and ask yourself why in the heck would you need a rogue cell or mega friction.  Do you honestly bowl on 18 varieties of heavy oil conditions?

its really weird the comments you guys make,but honestly if i see any oil with what i have i am dead in the water.I use my rising for spares and when the lanes breakdown. my mean machine is my benchmark,and there have been times when my virtual or nvd were both not enough.Ok this isnt a talent question i know i am not great,but in my hands my virtual is probably 15 boards weaker than in  most others.

Hmmm. Now that is a very unusual response! Methinks that your speed and revrate probably do not match up well. Ever thought of video-taping yourself and having a coach look at your delivery? Just a thought.

I am also curious as to why you got rid of your T-Road Solid. What was your opinion on that ball, positive and negative?

t-road for me was one of my weaker balls.I had it drilled rico and it was a good ball on weaker shorter patterns or when the lanes broke down.
    I hadnt been using it much ,but the last night of bowling i took it to the lanes ,threw it a couple of times and really had a great look.One of my team mates picked it up ,threw it ,and made me an offer on the spot. I had tried to sell it before with no takers ,but thats how and why i sold it. It was a good ball for me on the right shot,but no heavy oiler .
   I throw the ball bout 12 13 mph on a god day and i have minimal revs. I rely on the ball to do the work .My two worst conditions are heavy and dry i die on either one.

How are our comments weird?  You already own just about every strong ball on the market.  There really isn't too much stronger out there.  You must be highly speed dominant.  If you have any way of providing a video, maybe it would help us understand your plight.
