what ball would be the best choice to use for down and in playing up the 8 or 10 board. im a tweener at around 15 mph and i need a ball that has enough length to make it without hooking early like my current balls do.And have a strong arc to finish on the backend. Im going to be playing on a med oil ths.

I cant comment on the Threat.  I bought one used, but only used it a few times before giving it to a teammate.  I dont remember anything about it other than it (in its surface condition and drilling, used on my league conditions) did not give me a look that I already did not have with another ball I owned, so that is why I gave it to someone else to try.  I did not try any surface changes or different layouts like I would normally try.

The Thrash I bought used also and it was supposed to be 15# but when my driller checked it out, it weighed in at 16# but I decided to plug and drill it up anyways just to see what it was like.  Glad I did.  This was not a big-hooking ball for me.  Good length and decent backend.  I would normally play up the ten board, just riding the oil line, and the ball had great pin action and carry for me.  I was impressed enough with it to try to find a 15# NIB one, but could only find a Bonanza version in 15#.  I drilled that up but the reaction was somewhat different.  It had a bit more length and a milder backend.  The results were pretty similar.  I had 279's with both balls in the same season.  The 16# was just a bit too heavy of a weight for me but I actually preferred the reaction of that one more.  The Thrash was not a ball that I could use in deeper than the 15 board and was better for me around 10 board.  Remember, different styles, lane conditions, ball surface/drilling will yield different results, but that was what I saw.

Milt,

It is very difficult to say which would best for you as a down and in type of ball. So much of this depends on your style and the way the lanes are oiled where you bowl.

THAT ASIDE: if I had to answer I would say that the Threat would be easier to play down and in with on most conditions. The Thrash tends to roll pretty quick once it encounters a sniff of friction.
