What is goin in the bag this year??
« on: August 16, 2003, 10:21:30 PM »
I am going to 4 balls.



Heavy oil (for around here)
either a sanded Blueberry or a Pearl Carbide Bomb.

all mediums.
Blueberry polished
or Assault pearl.

lights Pearl Viper

spare
XXXL
I suspect that most of the year I will be throwing only 3 of these
BB polished
Viper
XXXL.

and after doing a sport league I will not be using a brace this year.
I think I got my accuracy troubles figgered out.
also learned a few things about oil......

--------------------
sawzalls cut ANYTHING including 10 pins
FAILURE IS FEEDBACK. AND FEEDBACK IS THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS THAT GOT DIGESTED!

Ten pin?????? Where?? I throw a BUZZSAW there is NUTTIN left on the deck...

Proud MEMBER of the FOS!!
Member of the FOS, if there happens to be a 9 pin standing just toss a saw and cut it down~~!

AMF Victory
Lane #1 Pro Purple
Columbia Flipside Wild

If they oil the lanes like they did last year, the Pro Purple will see most of the action.  If the oil runs a little too long for the Purple, then I'll go to the Victory.  I expect to use the Wild mostly as a spare ball.

I am actually going to raise my arsenal a bit....probably a steady rotation of 8 balls.

-Heavy-Phenom drilled to roll early, I do not expect much use out of this ball other than tournaments.
-Heavy-Phenom drilled to get some length with a nice late roll
-Med Heavy-Mutant
-Med-Thrash
-Med light-V2 pearl
-light-Track Magic, Buzzsaw XXXL
---spares-Yin Yang

In that mix will also be a Dynothane THING, a Triple Threat and an EMB XF

My full arsenal for tournaments will be:

Heavy oil: Mutant, Raging Inferno
Medium Heavy: Reaction Ricochet, Inferno
Medium Dry: Trauma
Dry: Sonic X
Spare/Very Dry: Buzzsaw XXXL

Might possibly add an early rolling heavy oil ball, my Azure Pro Zone, if this new Ebonite hook again works, or maybe a Roto Grip Fuel in the future.

Going for the MoRich lineup this season:

Hercules - Heavy
Colossus Supreme- Med/Heavy
Colossus Pearl- Medium/carrydown
Colossus- Medium/fresh backs
Pioneer- Light/Med/fresh backs
Blue Hammer- Spares/Desert

Backup balls in the bag for the other house:

Wicked- Medium
WOW- Med/Heavy (after redrill)
Emerald Saw- Light/med
DC Warlock Tour- Medium

Keeping the total arsenal to 10 this year, getting ready for a kid so cant be part of the "ball of the month" club anymore....

I am going with 3 balls this year. May add a 4th later. Will wait untill season starts and see if anything different is needed. There is no real heavy oil in the 2 houses I bowl in, but there is both dry backends and carrydown as well as light oil, medium oil, medium/heavy oil, and slightly heavy oil once in a while, but not often. I'll start the new season with:

           Light to Medium/Light Oil=         Emerald Buzzsaw (polished?)  
           Medium and Medium w/Carrydown=     Blueberry Buzzsaw (polished)
           Medium/Heavy and Slightly/Heavy=   Blueberry Buzzsaw (sanded) or
                                              Black Cherry Bomb Buzzsaw

This should cover most conditions in the 2 houses I bowl in.
