What I mean is most of the time you see the bowlers using mostly top end/highly aggresive balls,but has/do any of them ever bowl with something mellow/entry level on the telecasts such as a plain urethane ball or something like a powergroove etc?

That said, high speed / high rev. rate bowlers will usually match up better with the higher end stuff.
Tommy Jones is an Ebonite staffer, and he has used Big Time, Ice, and The One over the past year - High end to midpriced stuff.
Norm Duke is a free agent who uses primarily Storm and he seems to use high end stuff as well - Paradigm, Passion, Ace, etc.
Bottom line, these guys use what works for them... and it usually is the higher end stuff.

Recent examples of this include Sean Rash with an Inferno, Norm Duke with an X Factor Ace, Tommy Jones going to a V2 Solid, etc. I know that the TV bowlers will usually have a ball drilled up for TV thats usually the newest in the line, but they aren't required to throw it.

norm duke is using an ace storm which is a milder ball...
Older, but hardly milder.
TJ used a blue Ice last year to beat Voss, Angelo threw a Chrome/Yellow Power Groove, and Couch and Mika have used Stinger Low-flares in the past. WRW used a Crash last year to lose to Mike Wolfe (I think). Barnes threw a Trooper (the purple one), but he lost with it. I think Robert Smith threw a HRH at some point. Those are just the ones I remember.

Unless he shot another 300 that I was unaware of on TV, this is wrong. I do believe he shot his 300 with the Stinger Low-Flare Particle. The ball was definately not the V2 Clean as it was a dark, single cover ball.

Also, someone threw an x zone a few years ago, and that was a very old ball at the time.

sry guys, my mistake. I confused 2 different Mika Koivuniemi videos that are out there. THe one im thinking of does in fact have him throwing the V2 Clean, nust not his 300 game.

Norm uses milder even rolling equipment. When he was with AMF, he used the black tour menace quite often as opposed to there stronger stuff. My guess would be he likes to get a more even consistent read.
that ball was a dark columbia pulse with amf logo

No, Lonnie hasn't been on the show for 2 years now I think. That was Jim Pratt who was the no thumber, and lost to Mika in the finals

I remember Couch throwing the Skull ball for strikes and whatever Matrix ball (I think the black/silver one) for spares on TV one time
That's what Pratt did year before last in the Geico Classic. DT Eagle ball for strikes, playing around the first arrow. Energy for left-side spares. Shame he lost to Mika in the title match.
