Title: Dry Lane Ball
Post by: spanky on February 23, 2005, 09:58:00 AM: Ok, Since I'm a Track user and have gotten to know a lot of you on here I'm posing this question to you all. What ball do you use for light/dry lanes? Track really doesn't have a ball to fit this category. My specs are in profile
Considering: Pure Hammer, Crisis Pearl, Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle

Thanks,
Bob

With a slight coverstock adjustment it clears the heads easily with a smooth backend reaction. When I have to get too deep with everything else I am usually able to move 10 boards right and square up with the Hexplosion.

Post by: BowlerKidR on February 23, 2005, 08:47:57 PM: the pire hammer wouldne be good, but the sling blade, with a weaker drilling would do the trick perfictly. That is what 2 of my buddies use and we play late at night with lanes that were played on by 2 shifts, and the lanes breakdown after the second game of the first shift. The heads are dry as a desert, but it clears them and then has a mice arky reaction on he dry

Post by: TWOHAND834 on February 23, 2005, 09:01:53 PM: I have an awesome alternative to all those already mentioned. Drill yourself a Tornado Warning Pearl. I have drilled many of these the past couple months and seen some amazing results. Even when the lanes are toast, the TW does not get "jerky" off the dry. Its transition of the dry is still really smooth. It is a tame resin cover with a pancake block (same as a plastic ball). Give that a shot when the lanes become toast.

Finding all those Coral Tritons, Code Red SE's etc is the hard part

ps

my personal dry solution atm is a code red se pin 1 1/2 from pap cg 3/ 1/2 from pap (a modified 1.30 drill is another way of looking at it) creates hold when the lane gives you next to none

Post by: clintdaley on February 24, 2005, 05:31:32 PM: I would have to say either the Desert if you can wait or the Dry Heat right now. However, I would also say the Hexplosion is good for me on the dry as well as Ex says!
