Title: Medium-light visionary suggestions
Post by: pop_1 on June 13, 2007, 05:55:33 AM: I was wondering if any of you would know which balls would be great for medium to medium light condition. I am bowling in an old house with worn out wood surface. The shot breaks down fast here. Thanks for your help...

Post by: MarvinsSkeleton on June 13, 2007, 03:34:38 PM: I second the Green/Blue Centaur or the Slate Blue Gargoyle. When I am on a shot where I can't find anything else, the Green/Blue always comes through. That ball is smooth. Mine flares less than an inch.

Post by: Eddie M on June 13, 2007, 07:34:31 PM: I use the SBG on old med-dry wood lanes alot. The ball is absolutely amazing. If I didn't know better, I would swear it was a resin ball. It is easily the best dry lane ball I have ever owned.

I have heard alot of good things about the B/G Centaur also. It is a very consistent ball, without alot of flare.

I would also think a Purple Ogre drilled very weak would be a good ball for those conditions. I can use my Purple Ogre on drier condition with a strong layout, if I give it plenty of room. I think it would react much better if I had layed it out weaker.

Post by: Strider on June 13, 2007, 08:48:46 PM: Because urethane wants to roll early, I'd hesitate to suggest the Slate Blue Gargoyle on light oil and a worn out wood surface. Depending on how much hand you have and your definition of dry, I'd go with the B/G Centaur. I have both the SBG and the B/G Centaur. The Green Gargoyle would probably work if you could find one and the new Ogre is supposed to be a replacement, but it's not out yet, so I'd hate to guess.
