FOR YOU....what is the.....
« on: February 13, 2006, 06:07:39 AM »
first Track ball you grab out of the bag for league, and what is the first ball you grab out of the bag for tournaments?

FOR ME the first ball I grab during league is the Heat Blast. Over the last couple of weeks that ball and I have developed an extreme love affair . It just works on any lane condition that face.

The tournaments I have bowled recently were not super demanding conditions, but the ball I have used almost exclusively during those tournaments has been the Blue Heat. Remember, if you read my review I altered the surface a bit adding a touch of Magic Shine. If I start with it and the midlane starts to go I can grab the Blast and play the exact same line.

League: Depends on what's going on, but 90% of the time it's been the RoboRule since I've acquired it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find enough head oil to keep it in my hands longer than a game and a half.

Tournaments: I usually start with the Havoc to read the lanes, and then go up or down from there. If it's reading the conditions well, I stay with that ball. If I need a stronger piece, I move to the Diablo or RoboRule, if I need something weaker, the VP2 or Panic...

For league the first ball I pull out is the Rule.  Seems almost illegal bouncing it off the wall!

For tournaments I pull the first ball I pull out is the Mojo.  This light particle has a good arc and allows me to line up since it doesn't jump off the dry and will not skid through the breakpoint.

Either my Fuze Eliminator or my Shock & Awe. Being conservative, I tend to try the Eliminator first, because it grabs better in oil and is rather arcy, easy to control. If the lane permits, I immediately switch to the S&A because it carries better (and imtimidates any opponents with its killer hook from beyond...).

League right now is the Arsenal Reactive.  They have been putting down a ton of oil.  If it is skidding a bit much, I get the Aggresive or the GP2 out.

Tournaments may be the either the Reactive or the Xception.  Just depends on the hearsay and if I get to watch another squad bowl and see what they might be like.

On my house shot it doesn't really matter, but I usually go for The One or my Paradigm first. On tournament shots, since ABT tends to put out a nice amount of juice with touchy wet-dry, my Total Shock & Awe seems to get first dibs.

Either one, the XXXL is the first ball out of the bag.  I can find the hole with anything in the bag so my strike ball choice will vary, but I use the XXXL every game to make sure I cover any spares!

what a bunch of smart asses we have here!

Carl asked what was the first TRACK ball you take out of the bag?
This is THE Track forum. Track people don't come to your forum to screw around. And don't say you're joking as I ddn't see one smiley face.

For tournaments it has been the Freak-A-Zoid and the Reactive.

For League it has been the Rule, Angular and Desert Heat.

For me, the Solution PP (3x2.5) fined and litely polished.  Great medium ball for most of my shots.
