Title: Light oil ball.
Post by: azus on November 20, 2005, 05:57:03 AM

Will the screaming banshee or the erase banshee be a good light oil ball?
On travel legue i mostly encount lighter oil.
I'm not sure if I wan't a ball from the Hot line
And now on saturday i will play on a nightmare condition. A alley with new syntetic lanes, but with a old oil machine that is made for the old wood lanes they had before.
Since i think my XXX will loop the whole lane, I thought that its time to get a new ball.

the regulat banshee might work, but a real ball from storm for light oil is the tripical storm.

Okay, but then they are very condition specific..A banshee could also go on med oil, right?

I don't like the reaction from the HRHB. I've only seen 2, but it have only been crankers that have used them.

to answer part 1: Not really. It is good for light oil, but its storm's version of a Tornado or Scout/r. IT can be used on anything with adjustments. This ball can be used from light, to med-light, to med. As long as there is enogh dry in the backend for this ball to move, it will and it will carry

to answer part 2:a banshee can go for med top light with surface changes

Is the Banshee reaction similar to Big B:s Intense inferno?

No way. Eraser Banshee is MUCH tamer than the II, which is a flippy ball. Should be much smoother, I guess even better to control than a BVP Rampage on similar conditions.

Another ball which gets much use by medium and high rev players around here is the Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl for light conditions and broken-down lanes. Could be an option, too. Should be a touch weaker/for a bit less oil than the Eraser Banshee.

From what I have heard and seen, the new Tropical Storms should be considered, too, but they seem to be as aggressive as the Pearl Reactive Power Grooved from Brunswick - maybe too much for dry conditions, or you just need a smooth control drilling.

If you want to be versatile, I'd also suggest the Eraser Banshee.

Seen them, thrown them, if you want a great Storm light oil ball, Tropicals, 'nuff said.
