I did get both the Ogre and the Blue Centaur for heavier oil. My Son is between a spinner and a low tracker, so Frankie May set the Ogre solid to help him handle more oil. I'm hoping between the cover prep, core and layout, he gets a better red on oil.
I am a medium tracker, somewhat inverted and oil is also my nemisis. One league I'm in, my XXXcel never turns the corner as is the case for a lot of league bowlers in this league. So I wanted to try the Blue Centaur. Ed Shuler layed out a weak driling on this ball so that I might be able to use it on other patterns then just a flood.
I was at the BTM last year while at the Nationals and the lane condition was flooded. I had the Super Carbide Bomb and Super Carbide and I did see a wrinkle. This guy was throwing the Blue Centaur and had a great read on the pocket. Not only was the ball hooling and getting to the pocket with ease, the carry was great also. Unfortunately I watched him the set before I bowled and I thought the condition was easy. He made it look easy. My low ball track didn't help, but it was floode.
I'l throw it tonight and see if its useable on my Tuesday night league which is heavy oil just over the morning oil which means carry down.
