Need Advice.
« on: October 08, 2009, 01:55:02 AM »
I am a senior bowler and i like to play down and in.My pap is 43/4 over and3/4 up and i through around 15 mph.Right now i am using a cell pearl,which i love, and is drilled 4 by 4B on roto grips drill sheet. I need a ball with four to five boards less hook but with a strong backend that i can use for the third game.I have been looking at the Reign and Fast to fill this spot but i am not sure.How do you think these two would work for me or do you have any other suggestions.Thanks for your help.

If you get a reign you would want to put a weaker drilling on it and maybe hit it with a 4000 aberlon pad.  I bought mine and planned to use it for later in the games as well.  It does the job but the drilling I put on it is a little strong and I'm not able to play as straight as I want.  
But I will tell you it is a great ball.  The other night when I was using it, everyone was moving left switching balls the carry down was affecting everyone.  But not my Reign.  It did not care what was on the lane.  I had to move maybe 2 boards and I found another great line to carry on.  The ball is great like that.

Well both will hook less for you, but the Reign may hit a little harder on the backend then the Fast...

But the Reign is not a big angular backend ball...

It''s smooth off the break, yet hits hard...

Don''t put to weak of a drilling on it...

I see a lot of bowlers with the pin just under and or a little right of the ring finger...  Very strong on the backend on lighter patterns.. Great 3rd game ball.

Yes thats what my layout is, its to the right 2 inches off my finger grips.  I think its 4 inches from the pin.  The layout makes it more skid flip.  But then I hit it with a 4000 aberlon pad and it tamed it just a bit.  It seems to work on fresh patterns and on the same pattern as 3 games are on thrown on it.
