Suggestions : Need a medium light to light lane ball for my arsenal.
« on: March 30, 2007, 01:43:04 AM »
Current balls in my bag in no order.

Special Agent
Paradigm
Shift
Domination

Looking at the thunder line, tropical line. Looking for any suggestions. Maybe Thunder struck Pearl or T-road Pearl?

Thanks in advance.

I would definitely look toward the lighter-oil side of the spectrum, and maybe a ball for truly heavy as well. You seem to have most variations of medium covered with what you've got. If I were you, I might consider a tropical for lighter and something like a Trifecta, if you can find one, for heavy.

I would think that either a ThunderStruck Solid or a TRoad Pearl would fit the bill...given the right drilling.

What would you suggest for a drilling? A weaker drilling or Control drilling?

Deges,

I can't tell you if you have overlap or not; that really depends upon your style and how you have them drilled and prepped. Here is how that arsenal would work for me:

Heavy: ??
Med-heavy: Secret Agent
Medium (good midlane): Paradigm
Medium (backend snap): Domination

I haven't seen enough of the Shift to know exactly where it would fit. Now, like I said above, maybe you get enough variation to make all of the balls you listed work well within your arsenal. I just don't know.

Still, I think you probably have room for a lighter condition ball and one for truly heavy. Just my .02, but it really depends upon a lot of factors.

Gene,
 Thanks for you input. As for the Shift. I would say it is the Paradigm on steriods. Has a strong backend snap like the Domination

I thought the Paradigm was on steroids?  You mean the Shift is like Barry Bonds steroids?

For me, the Special Agent fits in the Heavy oil spot. I think you just need something like a Jolt Pearl to give you length on a light oil shot.

I get a strong move with the shift, then the Paradigm. I think the Paradigm has more of any arch look and the shift has more of a flip look.

But that's just me.
