What do you think the best all around ball is out right now.
Normal house shot, first ball out of the bag.
Post by: 814 on March 21, 2012, 06:35:23 PM
Thats a loaded question being that every house is diff...
But for me first ball out the bag is the new Major52 all day.. Love it.

All of them are the greatest... on the intended condition. I am sure that my Break S75 is not as awesome on the burn as it is on the fresh. Opposite way for my Link. Sure wouldn't be the first ball I would use on the fresh, but when they're broken down, watch out.
Also, what's normal in your area? I know here in Chicagoland, we probably see more oil than you on the east coast.
Just saying, you have to qualify what condition it needs to meet.

I'm seeing great results with the Versa-Max from Brunswick. Ordered a 2nd one just a couple days ago. It can be really clean through the fronts and very smooth/controllable reaction on the backend. The 2nd one I intend on going pin down to get it to pick up the lane a little sooner. Just a great out of the bag ball. Play deep, play straight. It plays well on just about everything I've encountered.

For Myself a Low Rev Stroker, I just bought the Defiant and had it drilled strong, for me it's the 1st ball out of the bag and my benchmark ball, I am still getting use to the ball as my "A" game is down and in, with this ball once I burns up a spot I have to move more inside than I care to, I am working on that part of my game and still getting use to having to play that shot.

Personally, when looking for an every week ball I typically go for a benchmark style of bowling ball. If at all possible I prefer a hybrid coverstock as it allows you the most options in terms of surface adjustments should you need to really fine toon a reaction.
Of the balls our right now, pick any of these and you should be fine:
The Nuts - 900 Global
Hellraiser - DV8
Arson - Hammer
QZ2 Quadfire - Motiv
Infinite Theory - Rotogrip
Rising Star - Rotogrip
Frantic - Storm (my second choice)
716C - Track (my personal favorite)

HEY!
I like the Clutch solid also! Great on my THS!
I like it enough I have a second one coming. The first is pin down and ALL midlane, the second will have the pin closer to the ring finger and ad just a touch of backend!

I hope that's the case....as I'm picking up my new 716C in a few hours. Sticking with Track, I would say the 607A is the ball I would use week in, week out....

Just drilled a fresh AMF VP2....great ball then, great ball now. Tackles the mids great and can handle the majority of conditions except for bone dry and Exxon Valdez oil slick.

My answer is D) All of the above
Every ball now is "good"....just depends on who you are and what you're throwing it on. What works for me with my ball roll on my house shot won't work for someone who knuckles it up the outside on a house shot that is an oil

For the last month I've been out of (bowling) action with a hurting left thigh ..just before the problem I was down to two balls in three different houses .. They covered everything I faced (never had heavy oil) .. Motiv Cruel and Impulse. Beside being good balls I didn't pay $150 for the un-drilled balls!
Post by: tywithay on March 22, 2012, 03:30:03 PM
Why is this in the Storm forum, if nobody is posting Storm balls?
I would say the best ball I've thrown recently is the Lane #1 Pearl Panther; smoothest pearl I've ever come across.

my most favorite piece currently is the brunswick versa-max. it handles anything in between the extremes of oil patterns. it is so versatile & easy power to control. i have 3 drilled up right now because i liked my first one so much. the other 2 i drilled are just as good for the conditions i drilled them up for. drill one up with your favorite layout & i doubt you'll be disappointed.

I'll admit I did not notice the Forum I was in .. I guess the OP was asking about Storm .. My error!!!

First ball out of my bag is my Nexxus. I get to open up the lane on the fresh right away. The ball recovers from everywhere. I can play up the boards with it, and i can get deep.
Obviously you were not listening to your ball...

Just alittle side comment! I appreciate the ideas suggested by Impending Doom!
Very little need for pearls for me on my side. I have a Tropical Storm and it is BIG for me!
I have a Freeze undrilled and a Mutant cell pearl. Not even sure If I am going to punch them...
Hmmmm, maybe sell my NIB Freeze and get a Clutch pearl? Maybe!

I love the 607A, but the turn it makes is to abrupt to consider it an every game ball. I promise you will really enjoy your 716C which is a great ball for a variety of conditions.

Buddies has hyroads listed. I picked one up from my local ps two months recently and I had to take the polish off and after that it really shined(no pun intended).

The best ball is the ball that works the best for you on any given league night. :)
Personally, the first ball out of my bag is the Tropical Heat. Then the Hammer Arson followed by the Versa-Max.
I use whatever ball works for me.
