Twist—Anybody thrown one yet?
« on: December 16, 2018, 12:35:22 AM »
 Looking for a third game—burn ball.

 Been going to a urethane to control it, but carry suffers if I’m not just deadly accurate with it.

 Opinions?

Juggernaut,

Don't be afraid to knock the gloss off the Twist a little (maybe 3000 on higher speed spinner) it doesn't need too much help. 
My bet is that you'll like it more. It's certainly going to be all the control you wanted, except a tad more forgiving front-to-back on the lane.  Let us know if you try this and what you thought.


 Going by the shop this week to get the wife’s new ball, and planned to do exactly that, take it to 3000 over the factory finish.

 It already read the dry swing area, but not so much in the oilier tug area. Ball is real close to being exactly what I was looking for, so I don’t want to change it much, and 3000 sounds like a plan to me!

 Things are cheap too! May grab me another and drill it stronger to max it out and see what happens. 🤔😁

Any updates on your twist?
I still love mine on my Sunday after kids birthday parties league burn ball. Hits hard, I'd really like to see a "pro" level twist with a dynamicore but otherwise this is a keeper for my conditions.
Cutting edge pearl or Magnitude .035 with dynamicore would be interesting as well. Love the low # stuff but doesnt get the "pro" quality components unfortunately.

Been really impressed with my Slingshot for the burn and light oil which you can still find on ebay pretty easily.  Take PK17 on outside over dynamicore on inside myself as carry on Slingshot is surprisingly good.

Twist are the best dry lane ball I have thrown.Weaker than Tropical Storms.If your houseshot is wet/dry you can park outside all day.
