Title: Arsenal Aggressive for Control?
Post by: kingpin268 on June 17, 2005, 12:26:42 AM

I need a ball for control to fit between my Absolute(big backend) and my Ultimate(big backend when there is oil). I guess that puts it in the category of medium-heavy oil. So could the Aggressive fit this category? Also, does anyone have pics of theirs? I'd love to see a real one, only one I saw was on blockbusterbowling.

With the proper layout and surface prep the Aggressive could fit between those 2 balls. I had an Ultimate Inferno, and the Aggressive is a stronger ball throughout the entire lane. The Ultimate was drilled exactly the way my Aggressive is, so it is a pretty accurate comparison.

If you drilled an Aggressive to roll sooner than your Ultimate, and bring the backend reaction down some it would fit nicely between the 2.

MUCH of this is doing to depend on your game though.

I agree with EX.

Here's a pic.  Not the best in the world but hopefully it gives you an idea.  The Aggressive is the bottom right.

Hey Kingpin,

The Aggressive can be used here but agreed with the guys that it'll have to be drilled for more control.  I mine at 1.5x1 from pap and it gives me just a very smooth continuous roll throughout the lane.  Hope this helps some...

I wonder IF ...
The new Blue Heat would be better in this position for kingpin.
Between the cover and its finish and that heat core, that ball seems the definition of control for medium-heavy oil.

I think the Aggressive might need too much ..finagling to get it into the right reaction area. Just a thought upon reading the BTM review of the Blue Heat. (I feel a lot of positives reading it; still wish Track would put a resin around that core.)

Just drilled my Blue Heat, identical layout to my Slash. I will post some feedback if I can use it tonight.
