Here's the deal- I'm starting a sport shot trios league this coming Thursday in a house 45 minutes away from me. The surface is synthetic (Brunswick Anvilane) and the league is planning on putting out 6 different patterns (3 short, 3 long). I want to make sure I bring the right equipment for the long patterns, and I have 3 Track balls currently in my arsenal. The way I have each of these laid out is in my profile- my plan was to bring 2 of the 3 Track balls and leave one at home as I want to make sure to bring a variety of medium and light oil offerings as well.
I'm thinking of bringing the Animal (currently at 600 grit) for the floods and the Slash to handle medium-heavy and medium shots (slightly polished). Or would you bring the Animal and Rule based on my specs in my profile?
I plan on bringing 7 balls (6 and a spare ball) and I want to make sure I have a variety of equipment at my disposal (thus the need for the Absolute Inferno, VP2, Panic and Target Zone in the bag...).

Matt,
I like the Animal and the Slash. For the first week take what you feel most comfortable with, and then adjust from there if need be.

Matt-
I'd agree with Ex on both counts. I prefer the Slash over the Rule on tougher conditions, and it's also very important to be throwing the equipment you feel the most comfortable with. If you don't have 100% confidence that you're going to be successful with what you're throwing, then you're really putting yourself behind the 8-ball before you get started!
Good luck in your league!

bring everything on the first night of each shot, you never know what will work and what wont. Bruns Anvil has a tendency to play REALLY long when alot of oil units are out there.
bring a few dull balls too and have scotchbrite handy on league nights.

Hey Matt,
I also like Ex's choices because the Animal will cover the heavy shot well and the Slash is a little smoother for the drier condition. However, I think you answered your own question...quote:

Good Luck, Matt.
Let us hear what happens with which balls.
A Sport shot on AnvilLanes is likely to be a real challenge.
