what fits between an x-factor and special agent
« on: April 11, 2007, 02:12:37 AM »
The x-factor is drilled for length with the pin over the bridge while the SA is drilled based on layout 2.  I was thinking the Shift but any suggestions are welcomed.  I've only used the balls at the nationals and btm.  

BTW, these are my first two storm balls and I really like them.

Thanks.

IMHO the original Agent would be a good fit depending on the drilling.

Great suggestion.  Are the agents going to be discontinued soon?  I am asking because I like bargains!

What would be a good layout?  Most likely, I would like it to arc rather then flip.

I am going to keep my eyes out for an agent.

Straight from the boss's mouth.....the Agent is stayin !!!

By the way, just about anything in the current line from the T-Struck Pearl all the way to the Agent will fit into your criteria. It all depends on the reaction you are looking for in the middle

Thanks Jeff for the info.  I was bowling league and that was suggested to me as well..T-Struck Pearl along with a shift.  Also, a black widow too.  But the Storms I have seem to match my roll so I going to stuck with Storm for now.  I have homework to do.

I could go the T-struck P, Agent, or shift.  Could someone explain how each would react?  I am not familiar with RG and differentials and coverstocks.

Thanks.

Adam: It's Jon from league. Didn't know you posted on the boards here.
      You have the Special Agent which is your Heavy oil ball on top and
      an Original X-factor on the bottom. You just have to fill in the gaps
      in between. I think a Shift would be good to have since it's a Pearl
      Particle which helps blends out a lot wet/dry patterns. Also what Jeff
      suggested from the Thunderstruck line to the Agent.

Jon,  I just started posting since I am bowling a little more these days.  I think you recommended the T-struck P.  I like the bite of the R2S coverstuck so I think the TsP or Shift well work.  But I am cheap too.

So what do you think of the house we bowl out of?  One of the tightest in the BA?  Where are you subbing tonight?
