ACTION VS SCORCHIN INFERNO
« on: April 05, 2006, 12:58:40 PM »
I HAVE BEEN BOWLING WITH A 15 LB DETOUR FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. IT IS DRILLED CG LEVERAGE, PIN OUTSIDE OF RING ABOUT 1-1/2 INCHES. THIS BALL WORKS GREAT FOR ME ON A MEDIUM SHOT. I USUALLY BOWL AFTER LEAGUES BUT CAN FIND SOME OIL BOWLING INSIDE OVER 3RD ARROW. OR THROWING STRAIGHT DOWN 1ST ARROW. ON A MEDIUM SHOT I HAVE BEEN AVERAGING 178, BUT HAVE BEEN THROWING A LOT OF GAMES LATELY IN LOW 190'S.  THE OTHER NIGHT, I BOWLED ON FRESHLY OILED LANES LIKE THEY WILL HAVE FOR UPCOMING SHORT SPRING LEAGUE. THE DETOUR JUST SKATED, AND WHEN IT HIT POCKET IT WAS JUST STARTING TO HOOK. TERRIBLE REACTION, 9,9,9,9! NO ENERGY OR CONTROL. SO I NEED TO GET A HEAVY OIL BALL AND AM CONSIDERING EITHER SI OR ACTION.  I DON'T USE A LOT OF HAND, AND HAVE AVERAGE SPEED.  ON MEDIUM LANE WITH DETOUR IF I STAND WITH RIGHT FOOT OVER 8TH BOARD, AND THROW OVER 1ST ARROW, BALL WILL NICELY GO DOWN LANE, THEN MAKE STRONG MOVE TO POCKET.  ANY SUGGESTIONS ON BALL CHOICE BETWEEN SCORCHIN INFERNO OR ACTION?

THANKS, MARKER

I drilled both of these balls up and:

Action comes out on top.
I drilled my 15# Action with a 4" pin, stacked leverage, with the cg on the midline plane, took a ligh weight out with a weight hole.  I got good length on oil and sharp back end at first, so I took the cover stock from 1200 grit to 1000, jsut to get a little more read in the midlane, and wallah!  
754 733 and tonight 766 ... one 299 and a few 279's in there.

I bowled on a 38 freash shot with good carry downa nd this ball rolled perfectly, setting up a few feet sooner than before, and then breaking HARD to the hole, carrying well.

the Scorching doesn't seem to have the midlane this ball does, and since its already a harsh 600 grit sand, it can't really get any better.

when i saw the 1200 grit on the Action and the really low RG, i realized that this was a ball with a powerful core, and a proven coverstock, so as it turned out I was corect to drill this up.

It is my go to ball for heavy to medium lanes with carry down,.
