I currently bowl on wood lanes with guardian heads and I have a fairly high track with 380 rpm.

My question is, what should I take to nationals?  I currently have weaker equipment and I am worried that I may need something stronger for the reno trip.

I currently have
Storm Reign @4000ab-pin over bridge cg stacked in palm

Roto Grip Cell Pearl @2000ab with polish-pin over ring mb below and to the right of thumb, sometimes it is too strong for me at this house.

AMF Villain @2000 with polish-pin 1 inch under bridge cg kicked right 45deg with weight hole inline.  Very early rolling and predictable move for me.

Columbia Rival @4000-pin over ring cg stacked.  Never have been able to use this ball due to it being way too strong for this house.

Do I need to pickup something stronger and or earlier rolling for this tournament or will adding some surface to these balls be enough?

I think taking the Rival to 1000 will be plenty.  There is a misconception of the lanes being tighter at nationals.  If you don't try to bounce it off seven like in league there is plenty of free hook.

Don't get me wrong you'll probably play well right of where you are in league....but you will have plenty of hook down the lane.

Ok thanks for the info.  I will give the rival a try at 1000 and see how it goes.
