Fresh lanes
« on: December 12, 2007, 11:55:17 AM »
I have a Machine right now at 500 abralon (little hand).  It's drilled 4 1/2 x 4 1/2MB and the pin is 4 1/4 above my grip center.  It has become the only ball I'm using and I want to get a stronger ball to use on the fresh shots.  I have found that the Machine really shines on broken down/burnt shots.  I'm thinking of the Rising, but I have heard mixed reviews, and I want to make sure that I'm not going to drop 200 bucks on something that won't work for me.  Any suggestions?  I'm open.

The Rising is a good ball for oily lane condition. It has a strong midlane roll and hits pretty hard but once the head oils starts drying up the ball will not be as effective. The Attitude Shift is another ball that is good for oily condition. It will good longer than the Rising but finishes harder. If I had to choose between the two I would probably get the Attitude because I think it's more versatile. Another you might consider is the Rival a ball which Chris Barnes says he uses 80% of the time. It is not as strong as the other two but is very versatile like Chris Barnes says. Reacts well when playing the outside line on oilier patterns and playing deep on drier patterns is not a problem for the ball at all. Hits great. Good luck on your decision.

If you want to stay with track, you cannot go wrong with the temper. One of the best pieces I have thrown in a long time.

Okay, but I want a stronger ball, and the Temepr is not strong enough for sure.

Okay.  I think I've narrowed it down to the Robo Rule, Resurgence, and LevRG.  Does anyone have any thoughts.

I love Track and I love my Robo Rule but if you have med to high revolutions I would stay with reactive over particle.

Well I thrown the machine before and I throw MoRich and there is a BIG difference. The levRG you probably will not use that much because its going to be pretty aggressive unless drilled weak. Resurgance is supposed to be good but I just like MoRich.

MoRich bowling - Better take some Viagra, you don't want to go soft throwing a MoRich!

I have little hand, maybe 7-8 hand revs but I can throw anywhere from 14-17 miles an hour.  I want a strong ball; will the Robo Rule still hook as much as/more than the LevRG or Resurgence?  It's an old ball, but the reviews are nice from its day.

For Nicholas:
Were I to drill a LevRG, I would drill stacked or anything really early-rolling.  I'd look for 4-4 1/2 pin-PAP distance, and then think about the MB.
