Arsenal Assistance Please
« on: May 29, 2016, 10:15:48 AM »
Thanks all in advance!! Quick info before the question, ~16mph, guessing ~300 revs, style that prefers to play between boards 8-22.

Now to my Arsenal predicament. During fall I did great our team won the league but it was on a lighter side of medium shot with older wood lanes. Now here comes the summer league and first time since new lanes 😁. They run on the heavier side of medium and are new synthetic lanes and this center is my problem.

Current Arsenal:
-RG Haywire (currently 3000 grit but haven't figured this ball out yet. Drilled strong with pin slightly above and to the right of ring finger)

-Lane#1 Hybrid Dirty Bomb (Leverage drilled pin to the right of ring)

-Storm Hy-Road Pearl (Love it, killer on the wood lane house but glides too long and over/under at slicker house)

-Lane#1 Dirty Bomb (Pin Down just under ring finger).

Most glaring issue I have is I can't get the Hy-Road Pearl to work at the synthetic center and the Haywire might be getting sold, I just can't seem to get it to roll right for me. The HDB needs the span adjusted so it might be the ticket but wanted suggestions on bridging that medium heavy oil gap at the synthetic center. Never tried an Asymmetric either but would be open to suggestion.

Thanks!!

I recently added the Ebonite Game Breaker 2 MVP and an Ebonite Adrenaline Shot to my arsenal (both symmetric).  Really starting to like the reaction and carry from both.

The Adrenaline Shot (hybrid cover) is discontinued and on closeout at many online retailers for less than $100.  The current Adrenaline Overload (matte finish pearl reactive) would also be a great ball for medium-heavy conditions at a decent price.

The Ebonite Warrior Elite (asymmetric) has a great reputation and would be the high end Ebonite brand ball to choose for heavier volumes.

My next ball will probably be a standard Warrior, unless Ebonite reveals something really special in the next several weeks (they are due for a new release or two.)

I've been looking into the Warrior Elite, GB2 MVP, and Paradox. Any negatives anyone has noticed about the three?

all great pieces in my opinion
all 3 have different motions
you could easily have all 3 in the bag
Paradox, strongest, but it has motion in all 3 phases of ball motion, early, mid, backend
Warrior Elite, says asymmetric, but once drilled, it becomes a stronger continuous, longer piece
GB2 MVP, hybrid cover, weakest of these 3, but no slouch, earlier than WE, very continuous, very predictable

How would the Swerve FX and Black Widow Dark Legend fall in there and in comparison to the Haywire? I love the way my Hy-Road Pearl rolls, so smooth but strong back end motion. If I could get some Medium-Heavy action from something with that motion, that would be awesome.

Warrior Elite is a must have ball IMO. I have drilled up Two of them one pin up the other pin down. They are strong enough to handle any volume I have seen and still push down to the breakpoint easily. They NEED oil to work but if you have oil the Warrior Elite will not fail.
