How would you set up the Reckless, Too Reckless and Marauder to use as an arsenal.
-
I would make too reckless the strongest. Cause for me with surface it's the earliest reading ball in any line. Then put a couple of your favorite drillings on the other two and you can't go wrong
-
I would agree with soonerdallas.
If you put surface on the Too Reckless it is a very early and strong piece of equipment. I would make that your strongest ball with surface. I would then put a nice control drilling on the Reckless. It is by far the best "benchmark" ball I have ever thrown. With a control layout you will be able to read the lanes on almost anything. And I would finally put a skid/flip layout on the Marauder. I have not had a chance to throw mine yet, but from a few conversations I have had, it is extremely clean, and angular on the backend.

Thank you for your comments, does anyone know what the Reckless surface is in terms of abralon pads. (ex. 1500, 2000, 3000 so on)
-
2000 is safe then change as needed
-
I've got a Too Reckless 45x3.5x45 with a hole in P3 at 1000 and it gives me all the early roll and hook that I need for anything but the soupiest of lanes.
Honestly you could make a bag of just Too Reckless with different layouts and surfaces, the ball is that versatile

Brandon, what did you use at Nationals from DV8.

Not going this year. I am heading down to the Megabucks events next week in Vegas instead. Its just a long way to travel from Vancouver, Canada to Louisiana. As much as I want to take Marauders and Terrors with me, they should be arriving tomorrow and I personally like to take a little time to get acquainted with new equipment so I am taking balls that I am comfortable with to the event.
As it stands, this is my 6 ball bag going into the Megabucks:
Hell Raiser Revenge at 2000 70x5x30 (pin below middle finger and MB is close to my VAL)
Too Reckless at 1000 3.5" pin just right of ring finger
Too Reckless at 2000 5" pin up over bridge
Misfit Green at 2000 2" pin right
Misfit Yellow/Pink at 3000 3.5" pin just down right of ring finger
Spare
I personally find the Too Reckless to be more versatile and tuneable than the Reckless thus why I am bringing 2. The Revenge allows me to get further left sooner in soupy conditions.
Misfits (particularly the yellow one) let me stay further right longer
