Ok Brunswick Gurus... help me out!
« on: May 13, 2004, 09:28:47 AM »
Another Arsenal question.  Here's my Profile

Right Handed Power Stroker
Medium Track, PAP: 4 11/16ths over, 3/16ths up
Rev Rate: 340-360rpms, Speed: 17mph(at 50 ft)

Here's my current lineup

Savage Solid (3x0) - Command Zone Arc (4x4) - V2 Solid (4x4) - Nitro R2 (2x2) - Blazing Inferno (5x4) - Teal Rhino (4x4 1/2) - Plastic

I have the Savage sandblasted for a rare instance of heavy, V2 and Teal Rhino high polished, and everything else box finish.  What I am lacking is something very backend aggressive that can be bumped around all night on the typical house shot, and as it breaks down I can chase the oil line left without worrying about an overreaction.  I just need something that increases the sweet spot down the lane, it seems like with everything I have being for one set reaction, I am much limiting my area on wide open conditions when I really don't have to.

Now as far as Brunswick goes, the Inferno seems to be the obvious pick, the only thing is Low R.G pearls don't usually go over with me well.  For some reason they're too oil sensitive for me(in the backend) and overpower the dry.  I've tried the Silver Streak Pearl, Retro Roto Pearl, Dynothane Thing, and Triple Threat all to fit into this hole of mine and none I really liked.  But having another solid reactive seems like medium condition overkill to me.  If anyone could steer me in the direction of what kind of cover-core match or ball I should goto to fit this slot I'd really appreciate it.  Bob Hanson, N_Smith?  Any others?

DP3-If you want something to really move off the dry I will recommend a 4 1/2 by 3 1/2.  I have this on my Inferno and it definitely makes a very good move off the dry.  I won't call it a hard flip by a very strong move.  According to http://trackbowling.com/images/drillSheets/drilling2.pdf this layout gives the most dramatic move at the breakpoint.  I also have a 4 3/8 by 3 3/8 on my Shock Zone Pro, I have the same reaction on both balls and just love it.  

I am not a fan of recommending balls to people.  I would rather give my impression of what I have thrown/seen.  The Ulitmate is awesome on the backend, provided there is some dry boards.  The Inferno is just awesome in my opinion, I also disliked reactive pearls until this ball (and the ignitor).  The Bruiser was a very good ball, it was basically a smash/r, I just wish I drilled mine weaker than I did.  The Slay/r looks good but you already have a Blazing.

My opinion go with a Orginal Inferno. I know you said you don't like the low R.G. Pearls. Well my friend I have heard awsome things about this ball and I would have to say if you wanted a ball to do what you wanted as you talk about get a Orginal Inferno. Also if you wanted you could get a Ultimate or a Brusier in my opinion but for the right ball and the way you describe yourself go with the Orginal Inferno.
