Title: which ball
Post by: devin649011 on April 10, 2011, 02:48:41 PM

 Hey everybody a friend of mine owes me a bowling ball and I'm missing a heavy oil ball in my bag right now. So I have narrowed it down to a few different balls including the omg, the storm vg nano, a world beater or a black panther. Just curious as to what everybody would suggest and the pluses and minuses for each ball. My stats are about 18 mph, very little axis tilt and not a lot of revs. Any help us appreciated thanks.

I would suggest that you look at the Roto Grip Theory. It is the best oil ball I have ever thrown. Otherwise from the list you gave, I would say go with the Nano I have seen a lot of them and they give a great reaction.

Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it

I wouldnt recommend the nano.Its got mor lentgh then the original.and last night in league there was a guy using one and my omg was burning up from lack of oil, I was using a rising star on the same line he was throwing,definitely not a heavy oil ball from what I have seen,maybe a good medium ball ,but not heavy,I think the omg is a much better choice i have 2 one pin over bridge and one pin under they are both pretty strong and early.

 

my style, the art of bowling without bowling

I would look at the World Beater or OMG, I am currently using the Pure Physics (rated just below the World Beater) as my oil ball and it has been money for me when I find a heavy oil pattern. 

 

Good luck!

The Storm NANO, I have 2 team mates using this ball 2 diffrent bowling styles, 1 stroker and 1 tweener, they are shooting lights out, 1 took high series in our league 789, with less than 10 games on it, This ball really moves.. good luck on your search..

The Nano without a doubt is a great ball on heavy oil.  The Theory is a very good choice as well. 

My arsenal

Heavy Oil: Storm Virtual Gravity Nano: 4000 AB

Medium-Heavy Oil: Still to be determined

Medium Oil: Roto Grip Nomad Dagger: 1500 polished

Medium-Light Oil: Roto Grip Rising Star: 1500 polished

 Thanks for the replies everybody I'm leaning towards the omg but we will see I still haven't decided.

Can't go wrong with AMF and either of their heavy oilers...

 

Mega Recovery....which you can probably get cheap now...

OMG...it lives up to the saying so to speak...

 

Awesome balls for a sweet price

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
