Please feel free, especially newbies, to write to us either through this board or through a PM whenever you have something that needs answered. I can't tell you the amount of times when I get a PM, the first sentence is "sorry to bother you". Let me tell you something. If I didn't want to be bothered, I wouldn't be here, and neither would any of the other guys probably. Go ahead and ask, I will respond as soon as I can or as soon as I have an answer. When I was a kid, I was always worried what the person I was asking may say/do for approaching them....please...don't worry on here. We are here to spread our knowledge of the game and of Track equipment.

Nicely said and thanks!! I'd been thinking about a post complementing the Track family on being the best equipment specific portion of the site -- you, Rick and Ex have been very helpful. While I'm still only a Track dabbler (I only have my Animal), it's great having a group of people so interested in how things are going once you do invest in a piece of the equipment. While I'm at it, might as well ask my other question -- I forget if it was chitown or someone else asking about building an arsenal out of different preps of 1 ball -- regardless, my question is this: Do you guys get a huge discount on this stuff to be able to do that?? Or, are you guys using the college money to fund it?? It's a cool concept, but I'd be a dead man walking if I told the missus I just got myself a new crate of GP2s for a little experiment I'm trying!!

I will be carrying 6 GP2s next season, as a test to myself and others to see how vesatile one ball can be with some different drills and surface preps. Like I have said before, due to a couple of factors with this particluar ball (higher RG, dual particle cover, versatility of cover, versatility of the Morpheous core), I believe I can cover everything I am going to see but the driest of dry. My high speed and little axis tilt helps me out on the mediums as well.
Not using the college $$ here, I have 3 kids to send to college....need every penny I can get.
We try very hard to help out anyone who wants the info....thanks for the kind words!

Here is what I have always done as far as equipment: If I find a ball I really like I will try it with a couple of layouts. I have bowling pay for bowling equipment. Jackpot winnings, bracket winnings, tourny winnings etc... I put all of that money back into bowling. I consider it an investment. NATURALLY, if the wife knew, I would be dead.

If our wives ever find out, we could always just get an apartment....of course, it would have to have a drill press, an alley........

The Angular is also a good ball, but it will not read the lane like the Slash will.

For the shot you are stating (naturally this is going to depend on the oil pattern), I think the Slash would work best. The Angular would really jump off of the dry.
