Need help on replacement for some balls i'm retiring
« on: January 17, 2018, 11:21:43 PM »
Hi Guys,

I need your help/advise again on what new balls to consider as replacement for some balls I plan to retire this year.

Currently, I have the following (From Strong to Weak):

Code Black - still hitting strong!  :)
Alpha Crux - lost some backend bite despite adding some surface on it.  :(
Crux Pearl - weakend a bit but can match up well on some medium or dry lanes.  :-\
Torrent - still hitting strong!  ;D
RG Scream - weakened thru time but strong on very,very dry lanes only.
Columbia 300 Blue Dot - No other spare ball goes straighter

I plan on retiring 2 or 3 balls

Time's up for following:
1. Either the Crux Pearl or the Alpha Crux. Or both. - So either something to use in very heavy oil pattern before the Code Black to replace the Alpha Crux. Or something in between the Code Black and the Torrent to replace the Crux Pearl.

2. Then for the Roto Grip Scream i want something to replace it with something for Medium to Dry that can overlap with the Torrent but is still playable on Dry or Light Oil (more or less for the 4th game of a 4-man League night).

Please suggest some balls from the new releases (From Mid-2017 to 2018) that would replace them? Preferably, all Storm balls since i love smelling the balls before every shot. But Roto is ok as well.
   

Thanks in advance.

Definitely consider Storm's Tropical line. It's always been a fabulous ball at a bargain price. Well made and extremely versatile in terms of lane conditions and bowler style. Good luck

Not saying do all 3, but my suggestions for each ball's replacement.

Alpha Crux - Sure Lock if you actually see the volume, or a symmetric, the Phaze II
Crux Pearl - Hyper Cell Fused
RG Scream - Hustle INK

I would personally wait to replace the Alpha Crux though. There isn't a real direct replacement in their line-up right now, and we will see more releases over the next 6 months.
Current Rotation:
PhysiX
Code X
Code Black
Axiom Pearl
Phaze III
Trend
IQ Tour

Crux Pearl - Hyper Cell Fused


If he wants it to stay in the slot below the Code Black, seems like the Fused would be too much??  Maybe a Hy Road or the SoniQ when it comes out?
