Build me an arsenal!
« on: September 11, 2008, 02:29:36 AM »
I'm coming back to bowling and I need some updated equipment. I intend to keep my Brunswick Dry/R and Lane #1 XXXL, but am probably going to do the rest MoRich. I think a Mojave will slot in above the Dry/R (or would the Sahara be better?) and then I need an oiler, a mediums with clean backends, and a mediums with carrydown ball for the other three to complete a 6-ball arsenal. I'm thinking Ntense @ 500 for the oiler, Nsane @ 1000 for mediums with carrydown, and Solid @ 1000 for mediums with clean back ends, what do you think?

I'm a med- to high-tracker, 17mph, medium revs, and I see a variety of lane conditions.

I would go with
Ntense for heavy-flood
Solid LevRG for the Benchmark
Nsane for meduims when more angle is needed than the Solid
Awesome Finish with a mellower drilling would be a good step in between the Nsane and the Dry/R

How does that sound?

I thought the Awesome Finish was pretty strong? Isn't it PK18? PK18 with the Vanguard core seems like it would be a monster, even polished.

Yes it can be a strong ball but Mo's stuff is also very drill specific. I have my Finish drilled pin inside ring finger MB out two inches on the thumb side and it is great, easy length and a smooth easy reaction at the break point it is never early. So smooth in fact that I use it on Cheetah and Chameleon PBA Patterns. On the THS I play very straight with it outside lines maybe 10 out to 5 at the break shots like that.

I think it really depends on how many balls your going to have in your arsenal.  In all reality you could probably grab one of each ball in the current line and have a solid arsenal.

Mo Rich equipment is very versatile because of the core being so strong and asymmetrical.  You could get a lot of different looks from the same ball just from using different layouts and cover grits.  I was told WRW used the ensane levrg exclusively in one of the tourney's last season.  I guess he had 3 of them drilled different.
