Slingshot vs Strike King vs Lt-48
« on: November 06, 2014, 02:50:59 AM »
I'm looking for something weak. How do the slingshot, strike king, and lt-48 compare to each other? Which one is truly the weakest off of dry friction?

My pin down Lt-48 is a lot more area/recovery than my pin down Slingshot or Strike King! My Strike King is a step down for when the Lt-48 is hooking to much. For me the LT is just under where my Versa-Max was. I was disappointed at first with the LT cause it was a lot more ball than I was expecting or that I heard it was, but it's an awesome piece! Just my $.02, Bruce

My friend just got an LT-48 and it looks to be a really great ball but it is not weak by any means.  I would not consider the LT-48 a ball for dry lanes.  It will hook a lot.

You have them in order from weak to strong. Depending on your style and ball speed id get a Strike King. The LT48  has plenty of length but really picks up strong down lane. May be too much for most on "dry" conditions.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Kid lost is correct.  The LT 48 would work on drier conditions if you are more speed dominant or you like to open your angles a bit.

Agreed! I have a pin down LT-48 and a pin down Strike KIng and the LT-48 hooks a ton on dryish conditions. It is also very continuous in my hands. I usually have to ball down very quickly when it starts really moving on the backends.
