What do I need?
« on: January 07, 2010, 05:13:40 AM »
My wife got me a gift card for christmas to the local pro shop.  Now I just have to figure out what kind of ball to get. I use a virtual Gravity and a Second Dimension.  Anyone have any ideas on what I need next?

I also have a Virtual Gravity and 2nd in my bag at the moment looking to get a third ball. Ive heard alot of good things about the HyRoad and am possibly thinking about one for myself, so I'm going to say get a HyRoad.

 Well my Reign handles carry down really well, when my AMF Code wiggles in the carry down my Reign bites rite threw it. Its a great 1,2 punch.

 Hope this helps.

hyroad and fast are both very good choices. I have a fast and on most conditions its pretty good ,the people i have seen throw the hyroad throw it really well. the hyroad is a good all around ball depending on how you drill it. I recomended one to a friend of mine and he has been shooting over 740 every time he picks it up.

I agree with tenpins.  Either one of those two will help give you a more diverse arsenal.

How bout some information?  Rev rate, axis tilt, axis rotation, lane conditions, lane surface, ball speed, what do you struggle with, what do you WANT out of something new....

Without most of that, recommending a ball is very difficult.

The Fast looks great for a mid price ball to me. Have been seeing a ton of them lately and they are nice and clean with a downlane motion.

Should round out your current bag nicely.
