Help with choice of "weapons"
« on: January 05, 2009, 01:26:09 AM »
gonna bowl in a trios league tonight

opponent team have 2 lefty.including me will be 3 lefty playing almost the same area for a total of 12games.plus probably 3games before league start on the same pair of lanes.

oiling would be ths.

what would be a good 4 ball arsenal excluding spare ball to bring for the league with the list of equipment in my signature?
advantage over the other 2 players
would be the right choice of ball
something that will cut tru the carrydown and still carry for me

thanks for the help in advance

Just figured one weaker piece if needed.  Was between that or the SR solid.  The Shift line should take care of most everything in my opinion & may not even need the 4th w/your spare ball, but you asked for 4.

Just take all 19, one of them's bound to work.

Or just take one and use your physical adjusments.

How about tell us what YOU think you should take and then we'll bounce ideas off of that.

skill wise i have no doubt i can beat them on any given day so it boils down to equipment to give me the edge

i am thinking since all 3 of us play almost similar lines,the best thing would be either something to bring the oil down use dimension to cut tru the carry down

if wanna go head on,i am thinking of shift,gravity,power agent n perfect dimension,all 4 of them drilled 4x4 with shift n gravity pin about 45degrees up left of my ring finger whereas power agent n perfect dimesion drilled with pin under my ring finger wich will give mi early roll

twckhorn...i dun think giving them a run for their money with my 2 polyester balls is gonna work today.
well one of them was a limited edition glow in the dark n the other is the balck storm spare with the the word spare on it

Your are left handed what does it matter?  You are just going to chuck it up the channel and watch it drift to the pocket all night....

Just Kidding around...Needed a little levity this morning and I love to give my left handed friends some crap.

I think AZUS had the right idea.

If you take too strong equipment, you will have to move more and faster. I think the Shift is a great ball and along with that I would take the Street Rod solid or the Jolt solid, and the Gravity Shift and Dimension.  I have all of these except the Jolt solid, but everyone has a different game one way or another.

Yeah, well right.  I agree.  If it was me, I'd just bring the Attitude Shift, Shift & the spare ball.  But he said to pick 4 plus his spare ball.  There is no right or wrong answer w/out knowing any of the conditions.  My Shift handles just about every condition except the real heavy & the sahara desert, but in a tournament, I highly doubt he'll see the desert, but that's why I mentioned his Street Rod, plus he has a spareball that can be thrown on the desert.  My Attitude has a very similar look as my Shift but handles more oil, so when I switch, I'm not really change my mark that much.  So realistically there is no right or wrong answer w/his list of arsenal.

damn bl**dy piece of cr*p tonight,
they freakig tweaked the oiling today,
i changed my mind last minute n brought my fireline
namely,
surefire,
spitfire,
firedup II,
rapid fire pearl

i cant use the spit fire today,it would never be able to find the pocket no matter where i played
it was dry n patchy results of light oiling n no stripping of lanes

i played from 5-5 to 15-15 to 15-5 to 10-3,
the balls were flying everywhere leaving the 4-7-10
n brooklyns,
anyways my opponents din have an easy time either both of them had more splits than the whole of my team hehe

anyways thanks for all the help,just hope i have a chance to bowl at your part of the world where the lanes are better n well maintained
