Benchmark ball
« on: May 03, 2009, 01:59:18 PM »
exactly what it says what is the smoothest med hook ball Brunswick offers. I was thinking like Avalanche solid, copperhead might hook to much. But im just looking for options dosent half to stay in Brunswick brand all brand are fine.

For the average bowler, I'd guess the Sidewinder.

Brunswick avalanche, sidewinder or copperhead

EDIT: Didn't fully read your first post, Sidewinder or avalanche wouldn't hook as much as you might think, theyd both make good benchmark balls, but the copperhead would be too strong

several years ago bowling this month suggested that a benchmark ball be a solid reactive with a smooth sanded surface and a stable drilling, say pin 4 1/2-5 inches from your pap and the cg near the grip center---no hole. a copperhead finished 4,000 abralon just might do the trick.

Copperhead at 2000-4000 is very good. Mine's polished and I like it even better. It just depends on how much oil you're seeing and what part of the lane you perfer to play.

I second the Copperhead.  IME it doesn't over-squirt in the oil, and doesn't over-bounce off of the dry.
