Title: Best Fried Lane Ball
Post by: carlos on August 10, 2009, 09:20:59 AM

Looking for some input. When I practice on very dry lanes I see I still have hole that needs to be filled. Thanks

I recommend a XXXL for FRIED lanes. I use a Blazing Inferno-HARD for the next step up in oil. The XXXL has been a WONDERFUL addition for me in that BURNT slot. GOOD LUCK! don

The Urethane Ogre would be an option, also. New on the market should be easy to find.

Well since you posted this in the Track forum, I take it as wanting some thing from Track
Look at the 505 C  drilled weak.

I did view a 505 in a video and the ball looked like some equipment I have at the present time. Thanks for all the input on the subject.

My Slate Blue Gargoyle is anything but a dry lane ball.

It is too strong, rolls almost immediately, and finishes harder than my Link and nearly as strong over all as my Awakening.

I would opt for the Ogre urethane like MC said or the XXXL.

I use a Brunswick Power Groove Dry R and it works well when the lanes are dry and they are on closeout right now.

If you want a Track dry lane ball, ask Dicnic if you can have his newly discovered Track Champ that he found in his garage recently!

drill it pin over bridge, cg in palm, and ur good to go!

AMF Smoke is a killer true dry lane ball. Lane 1 Chainsaw is another good piece. MoRich Mojave another good choice. Tropical's are decent, but I find them to be alittle snappy. 900 Global Link is a great ball for dry. The new avalanche slide would work, Roto Grip Mars would work depending on the drilling. Those are what I can think of off the top of my head.

Track Spare

This last weekend in the PBA Northwest Region regional we bowled on wood that had just been screened and recoated. We bowled on Chameleon Pattern that was very difficult and they were flat out flying. Last three games while most guys were hooking fifth arrow I went to my spare ball and hooked the ball off the gutter. Should have switch sooner, went +45 for the last three games.

I saw someone on here with a Desert Heat. The ball was made for dry lanes.

Jesse that Track Champ stated that it was for Heavy Oil. Is there something I'm missing when I read about it ?  Thanks
