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.

Unfortunately, the same as last year.
You say that like it is necessarily a bad thing..
Lots of my older stuff has moved to the top of the list unless the house changes what they tend to put out...Gold Grenade, Roto RH and possibly the Pearl Assault and Sonic X will be the ones spending the most time between the house and the bowling center.

Eliminator
Combat Zone (ah, ol' faithful)
Bruiser
Monster Black/Red Pearl
Target Zone
The Eliminator should be strong enough for my release, but if its not I will punch a Contact Zone 2.0. Also have a Riot Zone that I might try if anything goes too long.

i'd stay away from the ebonites, that includes hammers.
Why?
Dose that mean the 240 plus game I have been shooting each week in league with my Sling Blade is not good enough? or is it just the Hammers I mentioned adding to my bag.
Please share you insight on this obviously ignorant statement. because if you know what magical ball I could buy to give me a 300 every time would be greatly appreciated!

Well that is some important news. You should make a new topic for it in the ebonite forum. How would Know if I had Bad balls. could you post the serial batch numbers that are bad?
How about the contact name, so all of us could call ebonite and complain? I would want my money back!
