looking for something new
« on: November 12, 2012, 02:34:37 PM »
I am looking for a ebonite ball that has very very little hook but a ton of power any suggestions.  I am a conventional grip bowler.  Right now i have a element ice, mission 2.0 and a mission x.  looking to get something for dry conditions that i can go down second arrow with very little movement.

i appreciate the input

hammer nail would fit the bill with the right drilling
hammer arson low flare coming out that sounds intriguing might also work

I agree with the Nail.  You might also want to check the Hammer Vibe or the Track 300 series.

If you're looking to stay with Ebonite,the Cyclone would fit that spot well.Awesome ball for the money,it will handle med.-med.dry.

My cyclone is pretty strong, strong cover anyways
300 series from Track: I have all 3 balls

300c is a bit over/under - not consistent would be a better description
300t - weakest of the group, mine is pin down, great for the lighter patterns
300a - newest one for me, have 2" pin-pap layout done by Mitch B. ball has great push and very even arcing, hits the pocket well

all 3 take to surface changes very well

Definitely go with a Cyclone. Great ball for the money.

Talk to your ball driller and get yourself into a fingertip grip. You won't regret it. Good luck.

the cover on the cyclone is very strong. it is that gb 10.7 that was featured on the one back in the day if im not mistaken. good ball but I would recommend the 300 series by track, 503c, or columbia freeze hybrid. the cyclone is a great ball but unless you drill it very weak, it will give you a very hard backend motion

You need to compete for something greater than just winning.
The future belongs to whoever prepares for it.
