Title: I need a new ball!!! HELP!!!!!
Post by: LkrsDdgrsBrnsFn on September 06, 2004, 11:29:51 AM

I have been using the Monster ScreamR for about 2 years, and I must say that it has been great for me. I want to and will keep it for light/medium oil. However, I was told that maybe I should consider getting a new ball for heavy oil. I am about a 175 average. I stand to the right, and aim about 2 boards to the right of the second arrow. I can throw it from the left side if needed be. Can anybody give me some suggestions as to what I should get!!! I was thinking Ultimate Inferno, but am afraid that I may not know enough about it...Please help!

Do you bowl tournaments or at houses that actually require a heavy oil ball.
If you don't I don't see the need for a heavy oiler.
I would go for something that is a bit stronger than your Scream R. This is assuming that it works well for you and is where you are most comfortable playing the lanes. I think an original Inferno would be a great choice since it was voted the most versatile ball of 2003 by Bowling This Month magazine and is a good ball for medium to medium heavy.

I bowl Thursday nights at Del Rio Lanes in Downey where it is usually light to medium oil. Then Friday mornings I bowl at Keystone Lanes in Norwalk (Both in California). These lanes are heavily oiled. My ScreamR just hooks a little bit.

I'd opt for the Nemesis as well.  Not only does it handle oil well, but it's somewhat more forgiving--and less expensive--than the Inferno series.

Another thought is staying within the Monster line, and possibly a Bruiser or SmashR if you can find one. I ahve to agree in that I like my ScreamR as well.

If you have a ton of money to spend go with the ultimate Inferno if you are more limited go with something like the Goliath or Nemesis.
