Best ball for short oil sport
« on: October 20, 2009, 02:47:56 PM »
and PBA paterns?  Medium speed and revs, stroker timing with decent movement on ball for prefer to play straighter.  Bowled in a PBA experience league this summer on an older wood condition and the hard, early left turn killed me.   I'm thinking Tropical or Natural.  Any suggestions?

I'd go stronger pearl with weak, even drilling.  I had a Total NV with the pin 5-3/4" from PAP above and left of my middle finger that worked really well on Cheetah.  You want something stronger so when you leak it out to the twig it looks like somebody kicked it back.

The Global 900 Break Point Pearl works great on the Viper and Cheetah.

I have used the Storm Hyroad and it too works good on the Cheetah
and Viper.  I do like the BPP much better though.

My BPP is drilled 5 x 3, pin above my fingers.

When the 2010 Cheetah championships were on youtube, Norm
Duke, who won the tournament, was using a hyroad and a
second dimension.  Chris Barnes - Columbia Freeze.
Sean Rash - Brunswick Python.  Others - Storm Natural.
Ebonite Gamebreaker.

I did notice, those using the Natural were having issues with the
10 pin.  The Natural is a urethane ball and not a reactive resine.

I''m using a Cool Noize on Cheetah right now in my PBA Experience League and have a good look with it when I don''t throw it like an idiot.  I tried a T-Road Pearl and it had way too much backend. If I was going to throw a Storm ball, it would most likely be a shined up Furious or a Hy Road with a smoother rolling layout.  I think in my house, the Fast and the Reign will have the same problem the T-Road Pearl has.  If I was going to throw a ball with R2S pearl, I''d probably take it to 4000 without polish to see if I could tame it down enough on the backend.

Just to add to my previous post:  strong pearl drilled weak.  I would suggest this for modern synthetic lanes.  Short oil on wood:  go old school.  My yellow Sun Storm worked extremely well on Cheetah on wood.

I missed the wood surface part too, my suggestions were for a synthetic surface.  On wood, I'd go with a Natural to smooth out the reaction.  I think you'll have trouble controlling the breakpoint with any reactive ball.  Putting the Cheetah on a Wood surface is cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me.
