Which pba ball for oily house shot?
« on: January 15, 2007, 02:28:17 AM »
Whats the best elite ball for oily house shots.. i was reading about the different ones.. i think the viper will do it.. but i know nothing about the elite balls other than what is on the pba site..

** i currently use a Hammer pain and smokin inferno..when theres oil im sunk on the lanes..i throw down the 13 board with pain and crosslane with the inferno.. 12-13mph

Your right those balls might be too much. According to Bosco13jr the Green Alien is good for med/heavy oil.

You might want to explore playing different parts of the lane as well...

Please don't buy an Elite ball, you can get equipment just as good if not better for $200 less.

I agree 110% with Joe on this one.
Elite is a good company but there "PBA" balls are nothing different... just $$$

i could say over priced brunswick, but that would be a lie! i have every ball elite makes but the eclipse, and i am very impressed and would never throw another company agian, even when other companys have offered me free stuff i turned it down!,  The easy of read when it comes to the lane condition is great i drilled all 10 with a similar drilling and i can biuld and hold a line for many games, and they  go to the next ball in line,  

But to get back on subject, I would eather use the Viper, or the green alien, the blue is for heavy oil and the green is for med to heavy, The shark is just to much some times, but i had a local center put down 40 ft of heavy oil, and then oil the heads, then i bowled and I was still throwing between 4th and 5th arrow.

What about the promo that Elite is running. Get a blue alein and a competitors top ball for 300 bucks. That is 150 a ball.  Not outrageously high is it?

The PBA balls have gone down in price. You can pick one up now for $199 and you can buy a R series ball for $150 so the above statement is false.

why would someone who has never thrown elite equipment come into this topic & tell people what they should or should not be throwing? anyone who has elite equipment swears by it. i've NEVER heard anyone who actually throws them to say any different. if you don't have the money to pay for it, fine..don't hate, throw whatever you throw & be happy. go to that equipment board & talk about something you (hopefully) know about
