Most aggressive Pearl ball
« on: September 12, 2012, 10:50:03 AM »
Hello BR.com members,
     Wanted to see what your thoughts are on the most aggressive pearl ball on the market today. I am presently bowling on the Kegel Highway to Hell pattern, and I am finding some difficulties. My aggressive solid equiment seems to burn up to early and my current pearl equipment is not strongh enough to make the turn on the fresh. My stats are: 19MPH, 380-390 RPM, axis tilt about 26 degs (more up the back of the ball). So I am a little on the speed dependant side which is why I am looking for an aggressive pearl that might work on the fresh, and allow me to migrate left with oil as the night moves on. What are your thoughts??
 
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Was rather impressed with the Violent Eruption from Columbia at the ball demo days. Depending on volume of oil, don't overlook the Bullwhip Special Addition. Drilled pin up it has a major snap on the back end. The Shattered by Roto Grip is also a nice piece, but listed for medium oil as well.

The Brunswick Nexxxus is a very strong pearl and you could look at the DV8 Hell Raiser Terror!!

I might add that I put some Snake Oil on my Nexus solid and it's a lot longer with more movement at the breakpoint!! I did the same to my Nexxus, but I liked it better on the Nexus!! Bean's works really good as well to create more length and flip!!!

Jorge,
I am up the back of the ball a bit too, and the VE is the first ball I've ever been able to get a true skid/flip reaction with.  I know Columbia isn't a sexy pick in bowling balls anymore, but this ball is something special.

Thanks again to everyone for their advice. Tried the RG Defiant polished and unfortunately wasn't able to see if that would work, as my timing was pretty much non-existant last week. Just a bad night overall.
 
Thanks Doom, normally I just use my spinner at home and sand it down, turn 1/4 and continue. I will that next time and see if it helps.
 
Thanks guys, I did look at the new Columbia 300 balls a little. My Pro Shop wasn't too high on them as he thought the cover stocks weren't as strong as some of the others on the market, but I will take a second look at them.
