Forever Filling The Gap
« on: April 26, 2012, 04:02:11 PM »
Still can't find a in between ball.
 
Nexus Solid 4000
CSystem 4.5 500 w/ Rough Buff
Slingshot 4000 w/ Factory Finish

Want to get rid of the 4.5 and need something in between.

Thoughts?

A pin up and pin down Versa-Max will cover a lot of different conditions and bowlers!! Just my $.02, Bruce

<div>Nose, there was no reason to take this thread that didn't specify "only brunswick" and automatically make it out to be that way, bash the brand, and post no helpful choices to fill that spot! Bash them if you want, but at least answer the question.</div><div> </div><div>Boss, it depends on the reaction you are looking for. if you like the rolly reaction you see with the nexus and brunswick in general, then perhaps a versa-max would be good. If you want something that truly bridges the very strong nexus and very weak slinghot, I'd check out maybe a massive damage or a karma solid which will be on the weaker side. Depends on what you don't like about the 4.5. If you're into other brands, the frantic looks to be a very good medium ball that you coudl do a lot with, and everything about the victory road series looks fantastic. Not familiar enough with any of the ebonite brands to suggest a good medium ball other than maybe the hybrid freeze.</div><div> </div><div> Good luck!</div>



Effy, I don't know what you are talking about saying I bashed the brand? And I took it as an only Brunswick thread because it was posted in the Brunswick forum.
I did actually answer the question in suggesting to check out other brands. Without out seeing Boss_Hog bowl or know anything about how he throws the ball I can name off easily 20 bowling balls to fit between a Nexus Solid and a Slingshot. But honestly what good would that do?

Mainzer, we cleary have different thought processes about setting up an arsenal. I've been to many tournaments where a certain ball drilled different has made no difference on the lane because of the simple fact that it stil creates the same shape. Which is why I feel having a different ball altogether is a much better option than the same ball with different surface prep and layout. There are more times when I ball just doesn't read the lane correctly because of core rather simple surface prep. This is when you need a different ball, different shape all together.
Just my feelings, but I do also understand your side.

<div>From what I have seen every one of the big companies creates a ball for all reactions and conditions. To say that one companies is better than anothers is hard to prove. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I disagree with the last statment, to many covers and cores can create confusion when going from ball to ball in  tourney play. I would rather take two of the same ball one drilled strong and one drilled weak ball up or down as needed than go from company to company.</div>

<div>Plus, I would put the challenge that someone having a variety of equipment will fair much better than someone with strictly one brand over a long run of tournaments.
