Two Ball Arsenal
« on: April 29, 2003, 05:15:44 AM »

Whats a good two ball arsenal in the Columbia brand using only reactive balls?
Something for light (not toast)  to med. heavy.  Don't need a heavy oil ball as we seldom
run into that condition in this area.

Any help would be appreciated.

A Wild, or possibly a Scout for lighter, and a Wicked B/R/T or maybe even an Icon 2 for medium heavy.

Pearl Beast (Better than the Wild or Scout/R)
and Wicked B/R/T (Much less skid/flippy than the original Wicked)

Both of the original FlipSides Wicked and Wild. A one-two punch.

The Wild is at least two steps down in oil handling and hook power from the Wicked. More like a 1, 3  punch!

Duh! No, Bowling is supposed to be scored like Billiards. Call your pocket. A brooklyn strike is 9, out!

The wicked is pretty strong, bu in box it can slide on some of the lighter heads, as long as they are there. And with a clean bacend it comes back very strong. It is extremely versetile

Unless you have high speed or face a flood every day, I don't believe that's a realistic, basic 2 ball arsenal:

Try a Mojo and a Hex.

BUT the originator did ask for "Columbia brand"! So the Track family of balls is an invlaid option here.

With my experience being mainly on med-dry to med-oily I would recommend the original Wicked dulled a bit and the Ti-Messenger Pearl Blk/Gold. You can cover a lot of lane conditions with those two balls
