Banshee?
« on: December 05, 2004, 10:44:58 PM »
Has anyone thrown this ball and what kind of reaction did you get and on what type of lane condition did you through this ball? Looking for a med to med/light skid snap ball for this condition.

I bought a Banshee last Wednesday. Ball reacts luke the proverbial "goes long and hooks a ton", on dry backends.  2-1/2 inch pin,  2 oz. TW, drilled stacked.
Shot 2 games at "Stevie Wonder Bowl", 7 board area at the arrows, ball goes long and straight flips, carrys well.

Drove 15 miles to "Dungeon Bowl", where everyone is pi$$ing and moaning about the shot. I called first to see if they had run the league shot. House used to be oiled 38 feet 8 to 8. Now they oil 42 feet, took the OS dry boards away. Light oil outside. Ball didn't react well, until I squared up outside, didn't carry the corners well.
(My Lane #1 SD works well in this house. SD is drilled to start up earlier, label drilling, short pin, lower TW.)

I think it's a good ball for light to dry. . . . At least for my game. Higer speed, lower revs. 58-year-old hands.
