Whats up guys, I have been VERY torn the past few weeks on what to drill. I took some time off from the game, I used to be an All American in college and a solid regional player, then took some time off for personal matters. Now i've been back bowling heavy again for about 1 1/2 years. I have basically been throwing all Storm stuff except for a stupid Gamebreaker which is a spare ball. All of my stuff is dead, my bag right now is 2 Dominations, T Road Pearl, 2 Fired Up's, Tropical, Blue Thunder, and 2 Thunderstrucks(solids). I absoutley am in love with my T-Road Pearl and TS Solids. On a flatter pattern I love the way they come off the spot with such energy. Here is my dilema

I want to drill either 2 Cell Pearls, OR 2 Hyroads. Drill them different obvisouley. I am a huge fan of drilling a ball multiple times that I like. From what I read and see, the CP is a beast, but the HR is more like a TR Pearl. Which ones should I drill out first, I'm looking for them to be smooth thru the heads with a nice arc motion in the backs. I have been told I have a hand like a Jeff Carter with very similar ball roll, so i'm ready for feedback, pleae help me my friends!!!

Dan, thanks for the help. Here is another situation I have. I bowl in a place where the shot for me normally starts off at the 5th arrow, and its a 5man league, where the breakpoint always stays at 10. Just to get it there, I'm chucking a BlueThunder over the caps by the end of the night(which i'm good at) But when I go bowl a tournament, where they are tight, and I HATE dull equipment b/c it burns too soon for me, do you think I could take 2 Hyroads and just drill them to react like a CP or something agressive when it comes off the spoT??? Remember whichever one i'm going to drill I am most likely punching 2 of

Dude not to sound like a J.O. but I know how to bowl, and know how to do everything you said. I am just asking for advice on equipment to punch. I would RATHER stay right and play the track but in some places in NY and NJ its hard b/c there is not enough in the heads. But as I said earlier, I am starting to get back into the game after a layoff, and now I am trying to build my bags again. And planning a trip to the Roller in January and want new stuff before the trip.

I was leaning more to the HY then the CP b/c I felt in my reading and seeing the ball that it could be more versatile than the CP, am I correct? I am also a guy who believes in midline stuff and drill it stronger than punching high end stuff, but the CP looks so f'ing good, got me now, lol???

Sorry, but league is league and i'm always going to be 225, in tournaments its the old school method right to start and move left as you cross. Its tougher now then it was a few years ago because this game went from a game and now its a science of drilling balls and knowing surfaces and crap, real pain in the rear. Sometimes I feel like when I goto my shop and ready to drill that i'm going to drop $1000 on balls just to have all angles covered

Well the main reason I took time off was due to an injury to my right arm, I tore all the tendants in it, fell at home, long story so its hard to make hand positions like I used to but still do it with trying to get the least pain than I can take. As far as drills goes, the TR pearls and TS that I have are pin downs, and I prefer pin down stuff. Honestly, I am no scientist, and I dont get the whole idea of layouts and what not. My fav layout is on an original Inferno where the pin is below the bridge and a weight hole somewhat clsoe to the axis. I am at 5 3/8 x 0. SO i was thinking maybe one with that layout pin below the fingers, and maybe one with a pin up over the middle or something inthat family.
