What would you add and where...
« on: January 14, 2005, 10:17:43 PM »
to my "arsenal" from the current Track line?

I currently have...

Animal - covers the heavy stuff

Animal Untamed - hit with blue scotch brite, handles all mediums I see

Crash - polished up some for less than medium

Hey VT,

How've you been?  I'd say you can place a Rule in between the Animal and the Untamed for the med/heavy and a Hexplosion drilled to roll a little early to go between the Untamed and Crash.

I understand you may question this and this would be a good time to explain.   In regards to a bowlers total hook amount, he/she may not have as many gaps to fill compared to a bowler who can hook the ball a fair amount.  

IE: If bowler A hooks the ball a total of 10 boards from foul line to pins, he or she may only need about 2-3 balls to fill that 10 board gap.

Bowler B however hooks the ball a total of 15 boards so this bowler has more of a range to cover in his/her arsenal.  

The hard part these days, we can actually justify having 2 sets of an arsenal with basically the same covers but drilled differently to offer the required reactions.  A simple little change in surface or drill pattern on the same ball can mean the difference between carrying or sticking the 10 pin or other corner pins.  That's why it is very important to not rate or give up on a ball because it doesn't carry everything on one particular shot, it may just need a simple cover adjustment or redrilled to react properly to that shot.

Exactly as Ten says, the size of your arsenal should depend on the way you bowl. Rule would be a great choice to fit in between the Animal and Untamed. Hexplasion is a great choice as well. Really can't go wrong with any of Track's current lineup!
