Three Ball Arsenal
« on: December 19, 2014, 01:34:48 AM »
Just wanted to get a few opinions on a good 3 ball arsenal from Storm/Roto for someone coming back after 4 years without much bowling. Used to play to a good level and looking at getting into a sport league that rotates patterns each few weeks.

Used to throw around 18-19mph initial, with 410-525 rpm (various CATS sessions gave different readings!) and fairly medium-low track (axis was around 4.5 over and 1 up at last measurement). Can play all parts of the lane and will need to on some of the WTBA shorts!

Definitely having a Pitch Black which will double as a spare ball and for the short patterns, so looking at advice on the other 2. My initial view is for a Disturbed and a Hysteria, but welcome to hear opinions! Thanks

For heavy I would look at either the Storm Crux  (hybrid) or Roto Grip's Hyper Cell (solid)  -- the Disturbed is a strong solid as well, but I believe the Hyper Cell will benefit you allot more for tournament conditions then the Disturbed will. I would also look at either a Asylum (hybrid) or a IQ Fusion or Marvel pearl. You may need a 4 ball option to help you with different conditions. It just depends what type of reaction you are looking for.  Also comming in January, Roto Grip has the Hyper Cell Skid (pearl) and the Unhinged (pearl) -- just do your research. good luck.

I would go with an IQ Tour Fusion in the middle of the rotation. I think that hybrids give you the best of all worlds, and the Fusion is no different. In box finish it will handle most mediums with ease, and the cover can easily be tuned as needed. For your upper-end piece, I think you have the right idea with the disturbed. With your revs, that may be as strong as you'll ever need.
