Title: Have a S&A, should I get WMB or TS&A
Post by: Law on September 26, 2005, 12:45:37 PM: I currently have a S&A that MO helped me punch up with 1000 abralon surface with my TW pitched 1/4 to the side. I'm looking for something about 3 boards stronger, what's my best alternative?

Thanks.

Post by: Law on September 27, 2005, 08:15:14 AM: Thanks for the responses thus far. I was leaning heavily towards the TS&A until I read how strong it is, that's why I factored the WMB back. I really like the Vanguard core, much more than the Ravage/Sahara core.

I'm guessing I should probably bring the surface up to 1000 abralon since the OOB is 400 and will probably be far too strong. Correct?

I mentioned the conditions in an earlier post - medium to medium heavy synthetics that are extremely dirty. You wouldn't believe how dirty my ball gets after 3 games. Talk about grime.

My A game has me standing on about the 27 and throwing out to 8. I can adjust either way but my S&A just doesn't seem to match up properly with the lanes, be it I move further in or further out.

Law...my comment was regarding this statement by you:

I'd agree....that would be a good place to start,...but depends on your conditions....but now that I've seen that....I agree...start there.....

Post by: LuckyLefty on October 04, 2005, 01:07:23 AM: The reaction of the WMB is nothing to see...but the HIT IS.

It is an impressive carry machine.

The Shock and Awe has a much more exciting move. But also a great hit!

Both are impressive pieces on medium heavy oil!

REgards,

PS many of the bowlers I know using the TSA have added polish. But your oil volume will determine that.

Post by: Law on October 04, 2005, 08:16:48 AM: Thanks for everyones advice.

I picked up a TS&A at the beginning of last week from Billy Ray and used it in league for the first time last night. Boy was that ball hitting hard.

Even though its a heavy oil ball, it worked out perfect in my league until the 3rd game until it stopped looking. I figured I was tired and not putting as much hand in there so I just passed it off as learning woes.

Then I got home and cleaned the ball. It usually takes me 2 paper towels to clean a ball. It must have taken about 8 with the amount of dirt I took off that ball. The first towel was black after cleaning about 1/16th of the ball, so in no way am I blaming the ball, the alley needs to do something about its lanes!
