i would say you are missing something under the fast. if you are looking to stay with storm something like the natutal would fit righ in.

I would say you need something under the VE and something under the Fast. I would put a Natural under the Fast and a Reign under the VE.

High Game = 299

I'd say a spare ball if anything, only thing that would change that is if you bowl on a very wide variety of conditions and then you may see a need for a weakly drilled Tropical Storm or a Natural (though its reaction shape and amount does not make it a toast ball per say).

Agreed...you need a weaker ball. I have seen Fasts turn the corner like a F-1 car. Something weaker off the spot is definitely in order.

Thanks for the replies. I knew that I needed a spare ball,was just curious about the other holes that may be there.

I would say a ball under the Fast would do it, along with a plastic ball.  Maybe something like an Avalanche, or if you want to stay all Storm, a Natural or older ball like the Jolts or Thunderstrucks would work.

id recomend a plastic and a hot rod drilled long i havent tried the natural yet so cant speak for it    but also look into the hy road

also your speed and rev #'s would help others pick a ball for ya

good luck lots of options out there

Compared to the Fast, the Mars is softer off the spot. I get real tight flare on my Mars even with a stronger pin (4"). Very controllable read and a good ball to get right in the "dirt" with.
