Seek & Destroy on heavy oil
« on: April 19, 2007, 12:35:13 PM »
Hi I was wondering if a seek and destroy would hook some or a lot on heavy oil. Does anybody have a video of this ball to.

No video but I shot on a heavy oil tournament this weekend with this ball.  If you have a lot of hand it will give you great snap on an outside line.  I wouldn't say it has a lot of hook though.

My line was laying down at about 13 and going out to about 4, it would come back nice and smooth and then have a little backend snap.  Be leary of carrydown with this ball though.  If you experience a lot of carrydown it will hurt it's reaction.

Based on the two I have if you have enough hand in the ball it is a great choice for Heavy oil just don't change the ball's cover leave it has is. I have used it with great sucess on the Heavier PBA Patterns and very heavy league shots.

just providing the oil isn't 42'+ its a good call.
i haven't enjoyed my reaction in the thick and flat.
On house with medium/heavy it does wonders!
i found that it is more effective around 600 grit as opposed to 1200 box.

The Seek IMO is a oiler for those that have good hand. The Seek is an oiler if you have hand, you can move in with. Most oilers IMO only like to be played in the track and outside areas and will not turn a corner even with the right drilling and some hand. No matter what the condition, they dont seem to be able to get enough angle to play those deeper lines.

My S&D, in oob, condition just eats through the oil. And its angular, for a particle ball. On freshly oiled lanes, i have to move to the left very often, at the 4th game im usually 5 boards deeper at the arrows.
Is more angular than the total shock&awe, and i think it has around the same oil handling.
