What do I need next
« on: June 20, 2007, 12:06:30 PM »
Here is what i have so far

My bowling style can best described as Tweener, with 15-16 mph speed and medium revs.I like to play down and in or the out side angle.
Pap= 5" over 1/2 up

Fury - 4 x 4 box finish, Flare increasing X hole Placed 5 inches over and 1" down from pap. The X hole measures 2 inches deep and 3/4"Dia.

Fury2 - 5 x 4.5 pin under 1500 grit sanded no x-hole

Radical - 5 x 4 1/2 box finish no x-hole

Orig inferno - 4 x 4 1/2 pin under no x-hole  box surface

My question is what do i need next. I have nothing in the zone line also nothing particle. Any sugestions, i do travle quite a bit and run into a verity of lane condtions. Thanks

Well looking at what you posted you have nothing for light/burnt lane conditions.

Maybe a Power Groove Dry/R or a punisher for the lighter patterns.

That is a huge gap.  He has all high end stuff.  

xxZonexx,

What i would do is find a ball like a Rampage which would give you a decent step below without leaving a monster gap in there.  Leave the ball box finish and drill the ball 4 1/2 stacked pin up since most of what you have is pin down.

What exactly are you looking for in another ball?  You definitely need to go weaker then what you have without leaving a gigantic gap.  What is good about the Rampage, is that it is weaker than what you have.  It is a pearl to help get through the heads easier than what you have.  It is still more controllable than most pearl reactives out there such as a Doom or Smash Time.

Im looking for a weaker ball then all the others, something that will allow me to play on dryer/shorter patterns, also playing outside angles when the shot is there. I had a rampage before it was kind of over/under for me. So you suggest drilling pin 4.5 from axis ?

OKAY!!!!   That really narrows it down then.  Just adding the "shorter/dryer" helps tremendously as you did not originally say that.  If you want to stay Brunswick, just go with a normal Power Groove, not the Dry/R.  Put the pin 5 inches from your PAP and no weight hole.  This will give you good push through the heads but having a pretty weak core will keep this ball pretty tame on the backend.
