Which will you buy, and why??
« on: February 21, 2004, 08:58:33 PM »
Hi, I am going to buy a new ball (My 3rd one and my first #15, my other balls are 14# ) and I am looking for a heavy oil one, so, I've decided to go for the Ebonite KI Sanded, Track Animal or Brunswick Ultimate Inferno... So, If those were your choices, which would you take and why???

First of all, why aren't you considerany any particle balls? They will usually roll earlier for true heavy oil. Also give us some info about yourself, speed, revs, experience level, what shot you like to play. I have the ultimate inferno and have seen the other two mentioned balls thrown. I'd have to say from what i've seen the ultimate and animal are better on oil. The KI seems to be very longish, usually not what you want on oil. It's also going to depend how you drill the balls. But in order to make a recommendation we'd need more info on you.

why not a V2 strong, swamp monster, or something from the storm.roto grip line??? they have some cometitively priced stuff thats great.

lane 1 super carbides can be bought used for well under 100 bux...
--------------------
i don't care who makes it, how much it costs, or how sexy the ball looks. can i carry the 7 and level the deck with a $60 ball?

Hmmmm I am a stroker, 15mph approx, I have no idea of my revs, but I consider like a med rev player... I usually play something between 19-15 to 10 (depends on oil condition) and all my balls are drilled with pin over ring finger and cg exactly down... Hope that helps on your thoughts... THANX

of the ones listed  I would go with the ultimate inferno...  i say this because the inferno line matches up to my style of game very well.  i have all the infernos including the ultimate and i tell u, that is the best 4 ball arsinal out there.......

if you wanted to go a lil cheaper, the warp zone would definately combat the heavy oil really good.....

A member of my team has the KI Sanded.  That ball hits a ton, no matter how fast he throws it on oil conditions he still get the ball to bite on the backends.
I never thrown the Track Animal or Ultimate Inferno so i figured i'd give you a different pont of view.

Yesterday I went to play on the national bowling center of my city, and lanes where medium-heavy (I asked) and it felt just like my league shot so, its medium heavy what I want for now... (Well the difference is that my house is synthetic and the national bowling center is wood)... THANX FOR ALL OF THE ADVICE

Right now I go with Track whenever they fit the bill. the customer service is outstanding.

for the most part when comparing apples to apples in terms of performance balls.(not like a TPS vs animal scenario!)

The company that provides me with the best service gets my money. they all make good balls when it comes right down to it.

yes, they all have made a dud or 2 also.

Hmmmm I don't like crappy propaganda, so, the guy who told he was avg. 200 with his animal should explain on what oil condition and read about the comments about the release... Please, if you want to reply a topic BE SMART on what you're saying....

But, I am really into new cores, like the modified morpheus on the animal or the new xenex on the KI, so, I really want to decide between those two now, and now I wanna know if the Raging inferno is somehow for the conditions I described before
