Your specs?
Rev rate, speed, rotation, tilt..

25,6ml and 43feet on HPLs. That's good amount of oil!

Generally, UI and Maxxx would be more than enough for fresh, but you may need something cleaner for later games. I would go with one for fresh (Maxxx or/and UI), one for later games with smooth arc (Ultra or Copperhead with some surface adjustments) and one with stronger backend for opening up the lane if needs be (Rattler or polished Wild Ride with a proper drilling).

My PAP is 5 and 1/4up. medium speed and rev. For a 6 ball arsenal, any good suggestion? Btw, want to know what you will bring if you bowl on this pattern.

Natal, I have all you mention except Copperhead.

As I stated above, I would select balls both for fresh and for later games. May be 2 for each purpose for different look/angle.

For fresh, you'll be fine with Maxxx and UI (assuming they are in or close to box conditions). You may use different surface prep to furthere differentiate the look.

For later games, Ultra is a great choice for smoother look (ofcourse depending on the drilling and the surface prep). I'd also have a high pin Rattler if I need to play inside later in the squads.

How do you like your Wild Ride? What is the drilling and the surface prep?

Natal, i still need some time for the Wide Ride in my house, Our house pattern is 38 ft,unlike other house, we can play the outside (4-8 board). My Wide Ride still in OOB, pin up above my ring finger. Mb around 2.5inch away the thumb.
Weight hole below my pap.
The Rattler is a money ball. Not need too much time to handle it due to my favourite coverstock. These is my first BVP series also.

Hope to get more idea from other ppl. Just want to know all of you what will use on these pattern.

All, just confirm that the lane surface should be wood. Should i need some changes on my 6 ball arsenal.
