Its not the ball, honestly its finding that hold line that gives you the hold when you miss in and recovery when you miss out, or the typical house shot!
I showed up to a league last year, knowing my team would not be there and I would have next to no chance to compete with the sub I had, completely wasted, proceeded to throw a 290 with a 9 pin in the first frame of the 3rd game ( after MORE drinking) I laughed about it the whole night, it could easily have been a 300 and I swear to anything that I never threw the ball in the same spot... Low and behold I tried it again the next week, another high 700 series, I mean honestly its a joke.  Its great when you find a ball that gives you that look, but its more to do with the lanes and finding your little zone out there.
