What ball would you rather have the most
« on: May 12, 2008, 01:08:26 AM »
Ok, just going to put a list of balls out there and want to know what one ball you would want out of the group for a league with a medium to medium heavy house shot.

I throw 16-18mph, medium revs, bweteen a stroker and tweener.  Currently only have a twisted fury and i love it, just need something to compliment it.  

The ball choices are the following

Ebonite the One
Hammer Black Widow
Mo Rich Levrg
Global Break
Black Widow Bite
Ebonite Raid
Ebonite Gamebreaker

Gamebreaker as i have heard it is very good with surfaces changes and adapts well to them. Are those rumors correct i dont actually have one?

Without knowing all the other details that make up a shot I would have to go with a original Black Widow.

Most of those are big hooking balls meant for use on heavier shots.  On a Med house shot you shouldn't need all that hook due to the pattern.  I would save your money and purchase something cheaper like a planet series ball from roto grip or if you like 900 Global the Creature and Creature pearl would be great for the THS.  I see alot of people throwing more expensive equipment on THS but why waste the money, there are plenty of cheaper balls out there that cover just as many boards on the THS.  Plus if you bought something other than Ebonite or Hammer you won't have to worry about the coverstock longevity.

Probably the Gamebreaker for the numbers and I rolled it really well on our house shot during demo day.

Without a user profile and your bowling stats, it's tough to make a good recommendation. What is your speed and revs?

I might also ask what type of reaction you want on the THS? Skid flip? Strong Roll?

Generically, the Gamebreaker, Mystic, Solid LevRG, Raw Hammer Anger, or Horizon Solid might be good choices.

For more performance, perhaps the NSane LevRG, Momentum, BW Bite, Complete NV, etc. might be options.

We need more info. from you before giving you accurate advice, though.

Anyone who has it will probably pick this ball The Break, more consistent than the BW Solid at the breakpoint for me at least.

Oops the BW Bite is even stronger so that ball hooks even more for me.

Any of those balls is too strong for me for mediums without some surface adjustments, with the possible exception of the Raid.

Of that list, I'd pick the Break, though, as it seems to be very versatile.

maybe a polished widow or break.. although I'm not sure I would be able to throw either for an entire set on medium conditions.

I would go with the BWS, I have been able to use it several weeks for all three games in league.
