For Oil
« on: February 19, 2008, 01:59:29 PM »
What do you think for Heavy Oil, Attitude Shift, Secret Agent, or Special Agent. Which one will give the most backend in heavy-long oil patterns or PBA patterns like the Shark or the 50' pro patterns. Thanks

my special does it for me honestly but that may not be for you it depends on how you throw the ball if you really wanna know let us know that like are you a stroker tweener or a cranker do you play straight up or do you play alot of boards, all of this can determine what ball would be best for you

Attitude Shift = moderate RG, very clean up front with a fairly angular reaction, strong on the backend, may go too long on some conditions to carry the corner pins unless you really sand it down, and then it may burn up energy of course

Special Agent = super low RG, revs up really hard.  Gets into a roll earlier, but still strong on the back, very versatile

Secret Agent = super low RG, but solid/pearl hybrid cover with a light particle load.  The particle smooths out the reaction as well as giving a little more traction in oil, making it a good control ball, but not a lot of backend.


Also, you mentioned the 50' pattern they used to use in the Tournament of Champions.  You don't want backend on that pattern.  There just plain isn't room for much backend hook on that pattern.  It's not a very heavy oil, just long.  You want the ball to roll up kinda early really with more of a hook/set reaction.

IF YOU WANT A BALL FOR HEAVY OIL I WOULD GET A SECRET AGENT... IT IS A SMOOTH ARCHY MOTION ON THE BACKEND... IT WORKS GREAT ON HEAVY OIL.. AND IT IS NICE ON MEDIUM OIL TO... THANKS

Dude, either one in my book.  I've used them both.  It just depends on what you match up with as far as Assym (Attitude) vs. symm. (Special).  They are both R2s solids at 2000 grit abralon.  For whatever reason, I lean just a little to the Attitude.
