What does your THS arsenal look like?
« on: March 31, 2010, 10:22:47 AM »
Hi all,
I see this argument all the time.
"I keep one ball!"
"I keep 2 balls!"
"I keep 10 balls!"

I don't think there is an especially right or wrong answer but I try to offer a perspective on why you carry what you carry, i.e., understanding your arsenal, in the following article:

Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Brunswick Rattler with the Polish knocked off.  Drill with the pin below the ring and the cg kicked to the left with a small weight hole.

Ebonite Maxim.

That's all I need.

A dull ball, a shiny ball, and my Lane 1 xxxl, if it's tough out there, plastic with a core usually saves me.

As of late,

Every week

1. Wild Thing
2. Revolution Real Speed Pro
3. Diamond Back Pearl


Then a two ball bag I rotate out what ever I feel like taking to try out or play around with. Most have very few games because of it.

Jigsaw.........less then 25 games
Cold Fury......less then 15
Kick Zone......less then 40
LevRg..........less then 4
The One........less then 1
Solaris........less then 3
Avalanche Blue Pearl.....less then 60
LevRg Response...........less then 20

Go-to ball is my Revolution Renegade, when things dry up I normally have my black Pure Hammer in the bag. If the fronts are oily I recently found my Awesome Finish to be very handy, but I do not carry it along frequently. Renegade is in most cases anything I need or use. Nothing fancy, the ball will hook anyway...

My Aresnal consists: (Mission, T-Zone, Quantum, Forest Fire Storm, Fire Storm).  I know really old equipment but I'm updating slowly but surely.  Yesterday I ordered the Columbia 300 Pure Swing which will be added on Tuesday.

For the past couple of months, all I've needed are my RotoGrip Mars and my Columbia White Dot for spares.  I also keep my Columbia300 Rival (polished 1500 grit) and RotoGrip Nomad (sanded 4000 abralon) handy just in case the lane man has an accident and spills a little oil on the lanes...

Arch Rival and 505A both drilled same 73*3-1/2*23, x-hole on pin  - no more balls need - these balls fits to each other like nothing else in my hole life.
Solid 10? just change to other ball and strike again...
