Post by: BBraun502 on June 27, 2008, 04:44:01 PM
Okay So Im Comming Back From Just About A Two and a half year break. I was looking for a completly new arsenal to start off the summer season with. i am a lefty with high revs and ball speed around 17-19mph. the house shot is usually medium-oil. i was looking for two new balls that have a good backend to them and will react hard at the end. open to any suggestions thanks \

I don't know the specifics on the Twisted Fury Solid but I would imagine it will be a great ball.  Other than that you might look at the INferno re release or the Copperhead as the more aggresive ball and the Swarm looks like a must have.  I had a chance to watch Nathan Bohr throw it at a regional recently and it looked amazing.

With your specs grab any reactive ball from the proshop.  Let the strikes rain down make a few spares!

Since you're just coming back, and you're looking for Brunswick balls, I'd suggest the Copperhead or the Sidewinder.

To really tear em up.....I'd have a V2 clean and an AMF maximum Velocity in my bag.

my game sounds alot like your's except I'm a righty.I really like the Blast Zone polished for flat mediums and some carry down,might want to try that or an ultra.the twisted is smooth but has good snap/roll off the dry but carry down gives mine alot of trouble.the best skid/snap ball I've ever owned is the Intense Inferno!if you can find one it's worth it.
I really like the cover/core combo on the Blast Zone and I highly recommend it.oob it's a great heavy oil ball and polished it's a strong med oil ball.I feel it covers alot of conditions as the other two I've mentioned are more condition specific.

If you come back from a longer absence period, I'd suggest starting "new" with simple equipment. Brunswick's Performance mid-rage line offers IMHO two very good ball for the money, the Swarm and the Copperhead. Both have symmetrical cores and a PK18 coverstock, and they make a good combo for medium-dry to medium (Swarm) and medium to medium-oily (Copperhead) conditions. With your higher speed I'd rather go with the Copperhead, though, and if it grabs the lane too early, shine it up a bit (e. g. to 2.000 Abralon, or put a coat of Rough Buff over the box finish for some extra length) because it comes matte out of the box and is a pretty strong piece.
