Where are the holes or overlap?
« on: May 14, 2004, 10:46:42 PM »
Okay, here's what's up: I'm trying to create an arsenal of 5 primary balls and my spare ball, and here's what I've got:

Heavy: Anomaly
Carrydown: Diesel Particle Pearl
Medium-Heavy: Element
Medium: The Thing
Lighter: The Thing Returns
Burnt-spares: XXXL

Do you guys think that I will be able to make these balls work on these conditions, or do you think that I have holes and/or overlap? If there are holes, please tell me where. If there is overlap, again, please tell me where. I would also appreciate suggestions as to what DT balls you would use to fill any holes or to erase any overlap. Here are my specs:

Power stroker that can crank the ball when needed
Above average speed--17-18 mph
High track-no more than 1-2" from fingers

I appreciate any help that you guys can give.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

If you see dry lanes a lot, I'd look at something between the Thing Returns and the XXXL.  How is your TR drilled?  Weakly drilled Barbed Wire or Barrage or an older pearl urethane ball would all fit.  If you see actual heavy oil, I'd get something stronger than the Anomoly.  Most of us rarely do, but some tournaments like to put out a flood once in a while.  Depending on how they are drilled, you might have some overlap with the Element and the Diesel Particle Pearl.  If you get different hook shapes/breakpoints, don't worry about it.

On edit, I didn't read your first sentence about keeping it to 5 balls.  If you see mostly medium to heavy stuff, you're set.  If you see dryer conditions, I'd replace either the Element or the DPP with a true dry lane ball.
