What ball should i choose?
« on: January 14, 2006, 08:04:28 AM »
I need a new ball for med to med light lanes. Im think i will get the Screaming banshee or Fired up. I want the ball to go long with a skid/flip motion. My stats are in profile.

I like my coffee black, just like my metal.

Please consider the Storm Hot Rod Series.  I am generalizing here, The Fire and Flash lines might be too much ball, depending of course on the drilling, for a medium light condition for a tweener.  The HR balls that go a little longer are the Super Sport Pearl and the Hybrid.  The Super Sport solid might be fine on a medium condition but on a lighter oil condition one could speculate that it might be too much ball.  
The HR Super Sport Pearl might just be the ball if you drill to flip, all the HR balls seem to be quite a value. (of course, darn it, you can drill any ball to go longer - but the question remains - can you control the backend?) All Storm balls should make a good move.
If you have good backends - go with HR.  If the backends are stiffer, good idea to go with the Flash or even the more aggressive Fire line.  I never have
ventured that far up Storm food chain, past the Flash line Flash Flood - that ball will move on oil (but that's what it was designed for).  The Fired up sounds to be a pretty aggressive pearl, might just be too much flip (speculation on my part - don't know anyone who owns one as of yet, or have I seen this ball thrown, except on the well oiled TV PBA -whoppee).

Of the two you have listed, get the Screamin. Of all the Hot Rod Line, I'd suggest the Hybrid. I loved mine, and it will go a bit longer, given the drill/release, it is a good skid.flip ball, or it was for me.
