Great Benchmark Ball??
« on: January 03, 2014, 11:31:35 AM »
Tired of driving home always thinking I should have started with a different ball. How is this theory seem to you guys??    Always start with IQ Tour Pearl. If that is hooking too much ball down to the Hyroad Pearl . If Hyroad pearl hooks too much ball down again to my Tropical Heat Hybrid.  If IQ Tour pearl doesn't hook enough jump up to my Disturbed. Also have a Nano pearl  Oath and Ulti-Max rolling around in basement. Tired off 2nd guessing myself after bowling.  My problem is when all 3 strike in practice I don't know which one to start with.  Hopefully this new idea will work.

It looks like my synthetic house does not like solids ,no matter what surface they are. Used Disturbed 1st game with mixed results. Ball rolled awesome it just didn't hit like I expected. Very little backend at this house.  I switched to my hy road pearl and shot great the last 2 games. Tonight is the complete opposite. Wood house with booming bankends so hopefully the Disturbed at 4000 polish will do the trick. I believe the Disturbed needs some help on backends to be effective where the hy road pearl likes tame back ends.

If your Hyroad pearl is working the Disturbed won't. It's a string cover that is very midlane heavy. It will never give you that kind of recovery you get from Hyroad pearl. Lanes must be pretty dry

yes ,they are pretty dry.  Ball reacted nice until it hit the pins. Still 100% better that when it was OOB. Tonight should be a better condition to use Disturbed. Old wood house with plenty of oil to start . Back ends scream so usually the Hy road is no good. Go to my IQ Tour Pearl most nights but I want to try Disturbed tonight. Ball really rolls heavy but needs some help in regards to back ends.

Yes if there's not plenty of oil upfront it will do nothing in the back. The ball isn't snappy even polished. It reads the midlane hard. Great ball for tougher flat patterns or heavier ths.

start with what works majority of the time for you.

I love throwing the stronger assym solids and hybrids I have, but at my new house the mids just go away quick so I can only get through practice and maybe a game throwing them before I really need to ball down. I've shot better just starting with my Crossroad and leaving stronger stuff in my bag. At my old center before I moved, I could get 2 games out of my stronger stuff because the shot just held up better.

Great point!!  Sometimes I over think too much.  That is why I want to have a plan when I walk into any house I am bowling at. Get a read of what the lanes are doing and than move from there.  Start with IQ Tour Pearl and either ball down to Hy road pearl or ball up to Disturbed. I would love to use IQ Tour Pearl all 3 games but that is pretty rare where I bowl. If HY Road hooks too much I always keep my Tropical Heat Hybrid for dry lanes. I like to throw at least 3 of the 4 in practice just to see what is out there. Not a lot of practice time with 8 bowlers so maybe 1 or 2 with each ball and maybe 1 shot with plastic at 10 pin.
