Title: Power Groove for dry Conditions
Post by: ebolanebowler on January 09, 2006, 12:16:49 PM

Is the power groove a good ball for a tweener with medium axis tilt and medium revs, and around 20-23 mph a good ball choice, lookin for a nice cheap light oil ball

On dry boards, my Power Groove is too strong.  It keeps carrying to Brooklyn and beyond, even when I increase loft.  

I'm a tweener myself, with ball speed around 19-21 and medium reps.

You may want to look at the new Power Groove Dry-R as it's designed for dry lane use.

I have a power groove reactive purple teal sanded that was polished up to 1000 then 2000 grit right after drilling, and i use the ball on EVERY shot i throw on.  It is versitile, it is the ball i both start with and finish with.  I am a cranker, ball speed about 17-19 and play between the second and third arrow out to 3-5 board through the pocket.  when it dries out, i just take hand out of it and straighten up my shot.
