It has been a very long time since I posted anything...but here is my arsenal for the upcoming fall...any inputs would be appreciated.
Heavy - Phenom
Heavy/Med - either a Mutant (undrilled) or Unleashed (haven't bought yet)
Med/Carrydown - Freak Out
Med - Threat
Med/Dry - Havoc
Dry - Dry Heat
Spare - White Dot
Misc Balls I have: TPC Shooter XL
Some basic info: I'm right handed, Med revs/Med Speed, my PAP is 5.25 over and 1/8 up. just want to get some basic feedback. Have bowled PBA Shot League over this past summer and has taught me alot about my game.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I didn't want to hijack Rocks thread (he's a big guy..
) in case anyone else had some input for him. Here's what I'd suggest based on your info...Heavy - Phenom (consider an Animal for real heavy stuff, if needed)
Med/Heavy - Unleashed(if Phenom is there), Untamed/Rule (if Animal was there)
Med/med - Mutant/Havoc/FreakaZoid
Med/Lite - Freakout/Sheer Havoc
Med - Threat
Med/Dry - Dry Heat/Crash
Dry - Col Scout/Col Fear(more backend for 3 piece)
Spare ball - plastic/ or whatever works..
Strider makes a good point that the Havoc is too strong to be considered a med/dry ball. Not sure if yours is polished or not but most of us had that ball hooking a lot more then expected. I have placed the 3 new balls above in their respective categories based on early feedback and design. I haven't personally thrown them yet. Hope some of this helps....

I really feel if you are going to have a Track arsenal, it is a necessity to have an Untamed there.

Ii kind of figured what you were gonna say. I've read most of your posts, plus I know Chuck Gardner and he has helped me tremendously. I just wanted some feedback to see if I was thinking this through logically. I kind of knew I was gonna need an Unleashed somewhere in this mix. Just so you guys know, Chuck had me layoout the Havoc a bit on the weaker side. However, like you guys mentioned, I can still make it move a couple of boards. If I remember correctly, I think we drilled it 5.5 x 4 with the pin about 4 inches up from my mid-line. The CG is barely kicked out, but just enough for a balance hole. I believe the reaction is more skid flip. Bowled on the PBA Senior D the other night and the backends were just to snappy for the Havoc. Switched to the Dry Heat and unless I screwed up my release, I hit the pocket everytime with authority. It I was to go with the Mutant...what type of layout? Chuck gave me this ball, it is a blem with the pin and cg about less than 1 inch apart. Again..thanks for the feedback....
