jimensminger is very accomplished senior tour bowler and is on 900 Global staff, he's also one on the top SASBA Southwest bowlers. I don't know Jim personally, but I've bowl in SASBA Southeast and made a stop in the Southwest division and he was with Dynothane before being sold to Ebonite. I trust what Jim has to say about 900 Global! Just my $.02, Bruce

Not questioning his character just wanted to know what he was basing his statement off of.  900 Global had made previous precedence in labeling there pearl equipment so there was no doubt.  Beyond that I am well aware of who Jim is and know he is very credible I was not trying to discredit him in any way.  I apologize if it came across as that.

You know I haven't thrown the Bounty it sounds like a good ball, really strong and really early.  We all know the shot the last couple of years has been inside and has had lots of friction.  One would have to go with a weaker layout to get the Bounty to go far enough but then leaving weak 10's probably would prevail.  Polishing with a strong layout will just enhance the out of bounds to the right.  (Based on the patter/lane play from the last two years)

To answer the question, I would take a Blem S-75 with a 5 1/2 pin taking away some of the angularity letting the cover do the work.  I would take it up to 2000 sanded with a good dry towel buff.  This would let the guys without the hand play up the oil line and those with plenty to get in deep pitching it to the ridge and ring up the scores.

Well that is my plan.  I will be taking three though, I think.  S-75, N'code and the globe.  Always have to have the poly ball.  We arn't pros we are going to have shoot at a lot of spares.
