Title: Arsenal help
Post by: JDVisualz on October 16, 2017, 04:45:26 PM
Been bowling since mid August after like an almost 13 year layoff since throwing a ball and I’m currently trying to put together an arsenal. Currently in my bag is a Hy Road drilled pin up, DareDevil Trick drilled pin down with a balance hole and a Hammer spare. Not sure if I need another ball to round out my bag but if so any recommendations? 2 finger bowler, 15.5 avg speed, and unsure about revs but being a 2 finger bowler I’m sure I generate a lot lol. Any help feedback is appreciated.

Those two balls will handle quite a bit of conditions with surface changes.  Might think about a weaker pearl for the dry especially if see wood lanes or bowl 2nd shift since you might be rev dominant.

You have a lot of conditions covered with those two. As mentioned already, something low end and also maybe a high end pearl.

Low end options that come to mind would be - Tag Cannon, Match-Up Hybrid, Cherry Vibe, Pitch Blue. I want to say the Hustle Ink but it might be a bit too close to the Hy-Road in a 3 ball arsenal.

High end options - No Rules Pearl, Code Black, Trident Quest. The Intense from Storm looks like it might be quite promising as well.

Thanks for the suggestions! May hold off on the stronger ball for now and see how this 3 ball lineup plays out for me once I decide on the 3rd ball.

Not a bad plan.  Weak pearls are often sold under the entry level lines so you have plenty of choices well under $100.  Stronger pearls, however, tend to have top shelf pricing.  Got my Path Rising for $70 shipped and love it but rarely see conditions to use it which is a good thing.  Scandal Pearl is my strong pearl and I got it like a month after release for like $160+ or something like that undrilled.
