5 ball Storm Tournament arsenal
« on: August 04, 2007, 02:23:21 AM »
Hi guys in the "real" bowling season I bowl JBT youth tournaments every week all over connecticut and new york and right now I have an 11 ball storm arsenal and as you know it is hard to bring 11 balls to a jam packed tournament so I will list the balls I have and could you guys make some recommendations for the 5 that I should bring. Thanks in advance

Agent
double agent
secret agent
shift
domination
tropical
hot rod pearl
pyro
t road pearl
thunderstruck pearl
jolt particle

I have an idea of what I wont to bring I just want to see if your opinions differ from mine and oh yea by the way we have no idea what the condition will be untill we bowl on it so I need to cover the basis

It's really hard to know what you really have for ball reactions without knowing how they are laid out.

That being said, I think your best bet is to pick 5 that you are the most comfortable with.  I would also take 2 more and keep them in the car....perhaps for extreme conditions (double agent and tropical).

If I could pick 5 from those, I'd bring:

Secret Agent
Shift
T-Road Pearl
Tropical

And for the last ball, just pick one. But the 4 I listed should work pretty well.

Strikes, I was thinking just about the same think but adding the domination instead of the shift and for the 5th ball the pyro I just love that ball its great for real snappy backends it really smooths out the breakpoint

Yeah you can substitute the Domination for the Shift, I'd say they're pretty close in strength and reaction shape.

Well I bowl the Connecticut JBTs two. I bring a dull ball, my Awesome Hook, then a few medium balls that are polished and matte, 2 Vapor Zones and Blast Zone, a highly polished ball, The One, and the Tropical. It seems like everytime that Im in the match play, I need my One or Tropical to get threw the heads clean. If I was you I would bring your Double Agent, Agent, T-Road Pearl, Shift, and Tropical or Hot Rod Pearl, depending on how strong the Hot Rod Pearl is.
